OPERATOR'S MANUAL FOR THE SYSTEM<br />
4.2.2 Dosimeter Selection<br />
The next step in the Configuration window is to designate the type of dosimeter that<br />
will be used in the treatment session, e.g. the standard single MOSFET, (one<br />
dosimeter on a flex), or a Linear 5ive Array dosimeter (five dosimeters on one flex).<br />
This feature is most important to those who wish to use the Linear Array, for reasons<br />
outlined in “Section 5.3.2 Linear 5ive MOSFET Array Dosimeter”.<br />
This feature is found at the bottom of the Configuration window (see Figure 4-4:<br />
Dosimeter Selection Menu below) with the following message: “Please select the<br />
type of dosimeter used by Reader #X”.<br />
The software provides the option of choosing from: Single MOSFET, TN-252LA5<br />
Array, TN-502LA5 Array, or TN-1002LA5 Array.<br />

4.2.3 Calibration Parameters (CFs and CRs):<br />
These fields are used to show Calibration Parameters, including Calibration Factors<br />
(CFs) and Correction Factors (CRs). A CF translates the MOSFET’s voltage reading<br />
into a dose unit (i.e. Gy, cGy, R), and a CR is a multiplicative factor that can be used<br />
to accommodate certain external factors (such as extrapolating partial dose depth<br />
data to Dmax).<br />
