DOSE-X - Detector Library

  • Updated

The Detector Library page list all the saved detectors.

Tap on a specific device to see: Basic info, Corrections, Dose rates, and k_Q corrections.
If no detectors are listed, they will need to be added by an Admin.

 

Add, Edit, or Delete a Detector

For both detectors and machines, the procedure for adding, editing, and deleting a device from the respective library is the same.

Please note, that only Admin can make changes to the Detector and Machine Libraries.

 

Add a New Detector

  • On the Detector page, tap ADD NEW.
  • Enter the necessary information and tap SAVE.

Edit a Detector

  • Tap on a detector to select it from the list
  • Change the necessary information and tap SAVE

Delete a Detector

  • Tap the trash icon .
  • A dialog opens showing the name of the item to be deleted.
  • Tap OK to confirm the deletion or tap CANCEL to return to the library overview.

 

Basic Info

General information about the selected detector is listed under the Basic info tab:

  • Detector information: enter or change the Detector name, Type, Serial number (s/n), and date Purchased for the selected detector.
  • Bias Voltage
    • Bias Voltage: define the high voltage value.
      Note: Please refer to the detector manual for the maximum allowed voltage for each chamber.
    • Electrometer Input: select Floated or Grounded from the dropdown menu. See Floated vs. Grounded Input for clarification on input.
  • Calibration schedule: set the next calibration due date and the calibration interval.
  • Next periodic check: set the next periodic check date, and the periodic check interval.
  • Click on the Notes section to add or edit any notes or comments about the detector.

Tap SAVE to save the settings or CANCEL to exit the dialog without making any changes.

 

Corrections

All correction factors for each saved detector is stored under the Corrections tab.

  • Calibration Factor
    • Calibration Factor: enter the calibration factor for the detector.
    • Charge: select the polarity of the charge output of the detector.
    • Calibration Factor Suffix: select the correct suffix from the dropdown list.
      • D,W: absorbed dose to water
      • X: absorbed dose to air
  • Temperature and Pressure: enter the reference conditions for the calibration factor. Please note,
    incorrect temperature and pressure can result in a mis-applied calibration.
  • Polarity Correction (k_pol): enter a value for the polarity correction factor, and choose whether or not this correction is to be applied when the detector is selected on the main screen (Active / Inactive).
  • User Correction (k_user): enter a value for any additional user-defined correction value to be applied, and whether or not this correction is to applied when the detector is selected on the main screen (Active / Inactive).

Tap SAVE to save the settings or CANCEL to exit the CORRECTIONS page.

 

Dose Rates

In order to be able to select k_S corrections for the effect of dose-rate dependent charge loss on the main screen, different dose rates can be entered in the Dose rates tab.

 

Add, edit, or delete a dose rate:

  • ADD: Tap ADD NEW. Enter the Dose rate and Ionization (k_S) values and tap SAVE.
  • EDIT: Select a Dose from the list to edit the name and/or k_S value.
  • DELETE: Press the trash icon for the specific dose rate. Tap OK to confirm the deletion or tap CANCEL to exit the dialog.

 

k_Q Corrections

In order to be able to select different k_Q corrections for the effect of beam quality dependence on the mainscreen, different Energies can be entered under the k_Q corrections tab.

Add, edit, or delete an energy:

  • ADD: Tap ADD NEW. Enter the Energy name and value (k_Q Factor) and tap SAVE.
  • EDIT: Select an Energy from the list to edit the name and/or value.
  • DELETE: Press the trash icon for the specific energy. Tap OK to confirm the deletion or tap CANCEL to exit the dialog.
