Error message
Error: 290012000 View corrections were applied in view # The errror 290012000 "View corrections were applied in view number" message indicate the Image Generator or recon software detected a corrupt view and has applied view corrections to image. This Error alone does not indicate a problem. See service note SN05102815a. Wed Feb 13 13:46:25 2008 Error: 290012000 Host: ig3 Process: image_generation File: MissedView.cpp Line: 129 View corrections were applied in view 5400. exam/series/scan = 345/2/1 From SN05102815a Error code 290012000 is a status notification that Recon has made a correction to maintain image quality. This error is transparent to the Customer and has no effect on system performance. This condition is generated when the IG reads in the scan data and checks the KV signal for each view. If the KV signal drops below a certain threshold, a correction is made by design. The low KV signal can be defined as a "High Voltage Disturbance". Do not assume the tube is the source of the problem. A healthy tube will typically generate 2000 to 3000 of these events during its normal life. Other potential sources for high voltage disturbances are the Jedi Generator, HV Tank, and cabl

- D3186T PERFORMIX ULTRA TUBE UNIT Used on LS2.X, 3.X, 4.X, 5.X HP60, Hispeed QXi, DLS with H2 Gantry and DST with H2 Gantry. See Long Description for more info and Picture D3186T PERFORMIX ULTRA TUBE UNIT Used on LS2.X, 3.X, 4.X, 5.X HP60, Hispeed QXi, DLS with H2 Gantry and DST with H2 Gantry. Part #: D3186T Part Type: GP TUBES Part Weight: 184.31 LBR Repairable: No Returnable: Yes Hazardous Material: N Description: PERFORMIX ULTRA TUBE UNIT FRU: Yes Status: Orderable Comments: ** FE ASSIST ** The Shipping weight of this Tube is 336 lbs = 152 kilogram. For LightSpeed 2X/3X/4X and HP60. For CTi order D3132T and Lightspeed 1X order D3176T (212001261 5/3/07) *** SECOND OPINION NOTES *** Perform Rotor Control Diagnostics--If tube rotor fails to reach RUN mode in three ACCEL steps look for: High Drive output currents Low Drive output voltages and Low Drive output frequencies. This indicates a load problem with tube. With rotor running turn off Gantry 120V power at PDU. Listen for excessive noise and short deceleration time. A good rotor will coast for several minutes without power. Rotor issues (errors 183316, 183318, 183319, 260118111, 260118177) caused by tubes tend to be more prevalent on .5 second scans. If tube is installed on Jedi system, the Anode cable tends to break down (hard errors). Intermittent HV Spits -- Run KV Loop, 140KV, 30 sec, Anode, Cathode and both. Listen to tanks with stethoscope or screw driver, any noise indicates bad tank. Any spits? Remove HV cables from tanks fill with 2inch of oil. Spits = No, could be tube or cables. Spits = Yes, bad tank. D3186T PERFORMIX ULTRA TUBE UNIT Used on LS2.X, 3.X, 4.X, 5.X HP60, Hispeed QXi, DLS with H2 Gantry and DST with H2 Gantry.
