Functions
Movement orientation The movements associated with the joystick for the control of the column
selection longitudinal movement and the transversal tabletop movement can be
changed according to the orientation selected by the operator: "monitor
view" to coordinate the joystick’s movements with the motion of the
image displayed on the monitor, and "table view" to coordinate the
joystick’s movements to the actual table movement
Controls on touch Table movements, collimator, tomography, compressor, fluoroscopy
screen console parameters
Tableside controls Table tilting, tabletop transversal and lift, column scanning and tilting, SID
adjustment, collimator lamp switch on/off
X-ray control Footswitch for fluoro and rad exposures, with two-step pedal for fluoro
image store.
