DPX-IQ Service Manual

FSELIB authored service atoms

FSELIB authored service atoms for the GE Lunar DPX-IQ bone densitometer (DEXA): the complete chapter 4 board-by-board technical description (AMP, AGS, DCA, MAX, XORB, SBC, OINK, OMI and Laser — circuit function, signal path, full test-point tables and the manual's own oscilloscope captures), the DIAGS service utility, error log and ERRDUMP, daily QA with the calibration standard, quick collimation ratio, Static Counter, peak adjustment and the AGS test, tube head and collimator assembly replacement, cable bundle and control cable replacement, transverse drive mechanics and the chapter 8 troubleshooting set. Built from the scanned service manual read page by page, the operator's manual, the DPX Series service training deck and real field capture. Also the collimator selection failure that takes out the forearm program, and how to make the DOS software print to a modern USB printer. This service manual covers installation, calibration, troubleshooting and maintenance procedures for the GE Lunar DPX-IQ.
