" module P2060 title 'P2060' "(C) Ben Wiener 2011" "(C) Kevan Hashemi 2011" "(C) Murray Lamb 2011" declarations "Version 4" "[19-SEP-11] We run the pulse timing off a new 100 Hz clock." "All our counters, other than the pulse clock counter, are" "nine bits or less, and the pulse counter can be made out of" "T-type flip-flops. Thus we save roughly fifty registers and" "we simplify the counter code." "[14-SEP-11] The controller now has three outputs to drive" "the x-ray head: SETUP, ACTIVATE, and KV. The dental x-ray" "source needs SETUP to be asserted at least half a second" "before ACTIVATE. We believe the SETUP signal starts heating" "up the cathode. If we assert SETUP at the same time as ACTIVATE," "the source fails after a few dozen shots. Thus we cannot use the" "LWDAQ flash job to time our x-ray exposures, because any exposure," "no matter how short, must be preceeded by the SETUP period. We now" "control the head by writing a single device command, the top eight" "bits (DC16..DC9) of which give us a multiple of 10 ms that sets the" "ACTIVATE period. The DC1 bit sets KV directly, and selects 70 keV" "for the current activation when HI and 60 keV when LO. At the end" "of each activation period, SETUP remains asserted for 0.25 s as well," "which is something we observed in the manufacturer's power supply." "Version 3" "[02-JUN-11] We now pulse the x-ray source when either" "DC1 or DC2 are set. When we receive DC1, we set KV to" "zero to select 60 keV. When we receive DC2, we set KV" "to one to select 70 keV. The KV setting remains in place" "until the next command is received."
