Quick Use of the Mini-X2

1. Remove the safety plug from the cover attached to the Mini-X2 X-ray tube. Either install the

collimator into the cover or leave the cover empty. Re-attach the cover to the X-ray tube.

2. Make sure that you have verified the anticipated direction of the X-ray beam as described above.

3. The Mini-X2 Controller has a hardware interlock to prevent accidental radiation exposure. This

interlock must be enabled, connected through a series resistance, to produce X-rays (as discussed

in sections Error! Reference source not found. and

Error! Reference source not found.. Install the interlock

plug to produce X-rays.

4. Open the Amptek Mini-X Controller Software. It will

appear as shown to the right.

5. If it displays the "Mini-X2" in the box, as shown, then

click the "Connect" button.

6. If you are operating another Amptek device, for example an X123 spectrometer, you will see a

display like one on the right. The software has found the

digital processor. The "count" is 2 and it not say Mini-

X2 in the dialog. Increment "Select Device" to 2 and it

should display the "Mini-X2" information. Then click

"Connect".

7. Now you will see the screen to the right. The software

will display the serial number of the MX-50. It

also displays the status of the Interlock; it must

be "Closed" to enable the tube.

15 A. To change the values, click into the

appropriate text box and type in the desired

number.

IMPORTANT: Do not enter a voltage higher

than is rated for your unit. In addition, the total

power is governed by the Isopower curve. Do

not enter a current that exceeds the indicated

value for that voltage. If a requested current is

too high, the software will automatically adjust

it to the maximum allowed value.
