Operation

2.1 Introduction

This section contains set-up and connection procedures for the Model 90100 TRACKER System in order to measure therapy beam characteristics.

If you want to use build-up to simulate tissue, you can put plates of either "solid water" or acrylic (optional accessories) securely on one or both sides of the Model 35300A Detector. Build-up pegs and retainer rings for securing the plates to the 35300A Detector are optional with the 90100 TRACKER System. See Appendix A for additional information.

It is recommended that the user customize his Model 35360A TRACKER Display prior to its first use as a quality assurance tool. This customization may involve selecting the desired display units, display units conversion factor, temperature units, and pressure units. Procedures for carrying out the customization is covered in Section 5.
