To make printout selection
This setup option lets you select one of two options to change the appearance of reports:
•
•
Space for Expected Dose—causes a blank to appear with the heading “Exp Dose” so that the
therapist can write in the expected dose (from plan) next to the actual dose (measured).
therapist can write in the expected dose (from plan) next to the actual dose (measured).
•
Temperature Counts—causes the junction voltage counts to appear with the heading “Temp
Cnts” next to the actual dose. Temperature counts allow you to independently verify temper-
ature calibration by calculation.

Percent Bars—a horizontal bar that shows the approximate battery life remaining.
•
Percent Text—a text display of percent battery life remaining.
•
Hours and Minutes—hours and minutes of remaining battery life assuming continuous beam
on measurement. Actual operating time with intermittent measurement is about twice as
long.

To run RV Portal software
Normally, this option is not checked. However, if you have installed Sun Nuclear’s Record and Ver-
ify Portal software, check this box to run the software at startup.
NOTE: Record and Verify Portal Software operates as a bridge to provide data to Nucletron Oncen-
tra RV/VISIR Record and Verify software. For additional information, refer to Oncentra
documentation, the Sun Nuclear Record and Verify Portal Software manual, or contact Sun Nuclear
Corporation Sales Department.

To suppress background subtraction for uncalibrated inputs
Normally, this option is not checked. However, for troubleshooting, this option allows you to sup-
press background subtraction for un-calibrated inputs. Thus, the uncorrected values can be
displayed.

To enter an institution name
An optional Institutional name can be entered via the dialog box so that the Institution’s name
appears at the top of every printed report. The Institution name can be a maximum of 70 charac-
ters and will be centered on the top text line of each printed report. Administrator PIN is needed.
