Code 30-0324h data=1

Description

Tube spit (kV+ has dropped).

The generator sends only one message of error for all the spits (0324H) at the end of the exposure. During the same exposure we may have different kinds of spits. In the data of this error we can distinguish between the different spits:

1: Spit in anode side 2: Spit in cathode side 4: Spit in both sides 8: kV regulation error. For an exposure with anode and both sides spit, the data will be 5.

In case of KV regulation error , decrease kV-mA target of exposure (for example 60kV-50mA).
