Notes Adding Radiography Settings<br />
Radiography settings let you add radiographic settings for a simulation film. You can<br />
add the kVp and mA values, the number of seconds to expose the field, and the blade<br />
positions during exposure. In this exercise, you will add radiography settings.<br />
1. In the Simulation Field dialog box, click .<br />
Opens the Radiography tab of the Simulation Field dialog box, shown in<br />
Figure 61.<br />

2. Type 50 in the kVp field of the Exposure group.<br />
Specifies the kVp value.<br />
3. Type 200 in the mA field.<br />
Specifies the mA value.<br />
4. Type .25 in the Secs field.<br />
Specifies the duration of the exposure in fractions of a second.
