SMART XRB

The XRBHR has two new digital features: data logging and firmware controlled seasoning.

Data Logging:
Think of this as an “airplane black box”. The data logging captures data on fault events and non-fault events. Fault events will turn off the high voltage:

FAULT EVENTS
Temperature, Arc, High Current, Low Voltage, High Voltage, Watchdog, Power Fault, Interlock

The XRBHR stores data 620ms before the event, the event itself and for 620ms after the event. Data is recorded every 20ms (62 samples total) showing:
Anode kV, Cathode kV, Total kV, Total mA, Filament, Temperature

We also log non-fault events, these are changes in set points or state of the unit.

NON FAULT EVENTS
HV On, HV Off, kV Set point, mA Set point, Low Current, Filament Limit Set point, Pre Heat Set point, Line Dip

Fault event data is actual graphical data. Non fault event data is just stored as event type, data and timestamp. We also have a preventative maintenance fault, which throws a non-shutdown fault if the X-Ray tube has been factory
installed over 4 years ago or if over 15,000 hours of HV ON is logged.

Firmware Controlled Seasoning:
Every unit comes with an initial seasoning table, or customers can set their own. The XRBHR knows when the unit has been on, when it has been off, hours on the X-Ray tube, etc. As a preventative maintenance feature upon turn on, we review the data and suggest that a particular seasoning protocol be run based upon the actual usage history of the unit. Proper seasoning compliance of the X-Ray tube will help get the longest lifetime.
