This spreadsheet is provided to assist you in collecting data for quality control testing

of a radiographic x-ray unit.

The tab following this Instruction sheet is the sheet on which you will paste the
generator test data from your Rapidose system. To simplify the analysis, it is
recommended that the template as presented by followed as closely as possible. If
a generator does not have one of the indicated settings and that row is not used,
do not delete the row from the spreadsheet; rather, just clear the cells of that row
of any entries.

The cells on the Data sheet are color coded as follows:

Green cells are for import of data from your Rapidose system.
Yellow cells are where you enter information specific to your testing session
Blue cells are automatically calculated; no user entry is required

The Report sheet is calculated and completed automatically. Except for pasting the
waveform, your intervention should not be required.

Export settings
This spreadsheet makes certain assumptions about the data arrangement, as
discussed above, and the options used for exporting the data. Illustrations are
provided below to help make this spreadsheet as useful as possible.

IMPORTANT: When you import your data be sure to select the following
items in the Rapidose export dialog boxes:
NOTE: If you what other units (Gy, etc), you can of course change the units to match
your preferences provided you change the Data and Report sheets to coincide.

To copy the waveform, click on the "Wave" button, then on the "Screen" button. This
will put a copy of the waveform on the clipboard, which may be then pasted into
the worksheet where indicated.
