connect a digital multimeter to the correct test points, as described in (Tab. 8 / p. 22).
• According to the activated DIP switches, adjust the U1, U2, or U3 value by using the
O/P encoder for the selected I.I. zoom format. The voltage values of all formats are
specified in the test certificate.
• After the correct voltage is adjusted, switch off the corresponding DIP switches.
¹ The adjusted voltage value for this electrode is stored.
• If necessary, set the DIP switches for the next electrode adjustment and adjust the next
electrode voltage.
• If necessary, select the next I.I. zoom format and repeat the voltage adjustments for the
E1, E2, and E3 electrodes for the I.I. zoom format.
WARNING Once these service tasks have been performed, the accu-
racy of an optionally installed navigation system is no longer
guaranteed.
See chapter (Information on optionally installed navigation
systems / p. 13).
¹ If an optionally installed navigation system is present,
the customer must be notified that the accuracy of the
installed navigation system is no longer guaranteed,
and that the navigation system must be checked and
certified before it is used again.

2. Close the message window by pressing the “Return” key on the Memoskop keyboard.
The patient database of the MEMOSKOP CX is stored on a separate SCSI hard disk.
Update or reinstallation of the MEMOSKOP CX software does not cause the database to
be recreated. For this reason, it is not absolutely necessary to archive the patient images
before installing or updating the software. For the same reason, it will be necessary to
delete or create a new database manually should the database become corrupted.
It is recommended to check the patient database for corruption before installing or updating
the MEMOSKOP CX software. If necessary, format the database before installing or updat-
ing the software.
Possible reasons for a corrupted patient database are hard disk problems.
• The meter for available space (displayed in the Patient Directory) does not match the
license and number of stored images (e.g. license for 200 images – 25 images stored –
160 is displayed as available space).
• Displayed value 'Maximum Images' (Technical Setup - 9. System Parameters Setup)
does not match the valid license (25 / 200 / 2000 / 5000).
• The internal log file of the Memoskop CX (MX200log.txt) contains database errors (see
(Database errors in the internal logfile of the Memoskop CX (MX200log.txt) / p. 34)).
In all of these cases, the database should be deleted and recreated (see (Formatting the
patient database / p. 34)). If the problem still persists after the patient database is format-
ted, the MEMOSKOP CX needs to be replaced.

When the licenses “CX 200 Images” and/or "CX 2000 Images"
and/or "CX 5000 Images + DSA" are subsequently loaded for
the first time, the image database has to be newly created.
NOTE As a rule, the existing licenses are stored and present on the
MEMOSKOP CX Backup CD-R along with the backed up
parameters.
If the MEMOSKOP CX Backup CD-R is missing or is no longer
readable, then the existing licenses have to be loaded from
the original license CD-R.
Afterwards, a new, writeable CD-R must be inserted into the
CD drive and both the licenses and the parameters saved.

NOTE *
For LOW dose rate levels in zoom format:
Due to the maximum possible opening of the TV iris, deviat-
ing dose rate values are acceptable if the dose rate level is
set to LOW in zoom format.
When the dose rate level is set to LOW in zoom format, the
minimum position value (= minimum opening) of the TV iris
may be the same value as in the survey format (opening of TV
iris collimator in zoom format >= opening of TV iris collimator
in survey format).
When the dose rate level is set to LOW in zoom format, the
display "BRIGHTNESS DEVIATION" may show a value
greater than ± 3.
If the value shown in "BRIGHTNESS DEVIATION" is greater
than ± 3, you must read out and evaluate the position values
of the TV iris collimator when the dose rate level is set to
LOW in both the zoom and survey formats:
(Service PC, Menu Adjustments... / Parameters.../ Doserate
adjustment, Parameter LOW - Zoom format pos. and Parame-
ter LOW Full format pos.)
Acceptable parameter values are: LOW - Zoom format pos. >=
LOW - Full format pos.
Unacceptable parameter values are: LOW - Zoom format pos.
< LOW - Full format pos.

Calculate the deviation between the measured dose area product and the displayed dose
area product:
The deviation must be < 0.25 .
Deviation = [(displayed dose area product FDPa) - (measured dose area product FDPg) ]
/ (measured dose area product FDPg)
For deviations > 0.25 , the dose area product measurement device must be replaced.

Abbreviations
∆Ka/∆t int Dose rate (Air Kerma), internal measurement by the system
∆Ka/∆t ext Dose rate (Air Kerma), external measurement on the dose
meter
Correction factor Cx
The correction factor Cx is required because the dose measuring chamber is attached
directly to the I.I. housing and not "300 mm from the I.I." or "150 mm from the isocenter".
Focus to I.I. input distance (SID) = 1005 mm.
Focus to I.I. housing/grid distance = 1005 mm - 20 mm = 985 mm.
'Reference Location' (RL) = 685 mm (reference point is 300 mm to the I.I. housing/grid)
or
'Reference Location' (RL) = 487 mm (reference point is 150 mm to the isocenter)
Check
• Set the dose meter to the "Dose rate" operating mode.
• Attach the small (1cm3) dose measuring chamber of the dose meter (Dali, Nomex ...) or

• Convert the monitor value "∆Ka/∆t int" from "mGy/min" to "µGy/s" and enter it in the
table:
∆Ka/∆t int [mGy/min] x (16.66) = ∆Kaa/∆t int [µGy/s]
• Multiply the value of the external measurement "∆Ka/∆t ext" by the factor Cx and enter it
in the table:
∆Ka/∆t ext [µGy/s] * Cx = ∆Ka/∆t ext_Cx [µGy/s]
• Determine the actual deviation and enter it in the table:
Actual deviation in [%] = [(∆Ka/∆t int) - (∆Ka/∆t ext_Cx)] * 100 / (∆Ka/∆t ext_Cx)
• The maximum permissible deviation is +/- 35%.
With a deviation greater than +/- 35% the setting/determination of the diaphragm posi-
tions of X-Iris and slot diaphragm must be performed anew (see following section
"Determination of the diaphragm positions of X-Iris and slot diaphragm").
• Repeat in sequence the work steps for determining the actual deviation for the dia-
phragm settings "Slot diaphragm completely open, X-Iris approx. 12 cm opened" and
"X-iris completely open, slot diaphragm approx. 12 cm opened" and assess the actual
deviations (12 cm measured on the monitor).
• Set the slot diaphragm according to the Troubleshooting Guide (see section "Adjust-
ments / Programs", section "Collimator, slot diaphragm").
NOTE It is important for the software calculation that the slot dia-
phragm is set accurately; in full format, the collimator leaves
are just no longer visible at the image margin.

NOTE The spare part “Memoskop CX” (part no. 71 42 537) is always
delivered with the latest software version factory installed.
This latest software is backward compatible and must always
remain installed in the new Memoskop. The software version
installed on the system must not be downloaded to the
Memoskop, even if the software version of the newly deliv-
ered Memoskop differs from that of the system. The spare
part “Memoskop software” is included in the spare part
“Memoskop CX”. After the Memoskop is replaced, the “old”
CD must be removed from the system binder and replaced
with the new CD.
• Position prerequisites for measuring the forces: angulation, orbital, and horizontal
swivel movements must be at zero on the scale and horizontal movement should be at
