The MagicMaX Universal is intended to be used to provide quality assurance for the measurement of
the beam of X-ray installations. It is also intended to be used to perform acceptance tests by the
servicing and maintenance personnel or OEM users.
1.2. Non-intended use

The MagicMaX Universal is not intended to be used with patients.
1.3. General Description

The MagicMaX Universal multimeter is a PC based, USB powered automatic precision instrument that
measures and displays, simultaneously
DOSE, DOSE rate, and DOSE per pulse;
exposure time;
noninvasively practical peak voltage,
Total Filtration,
First Half Value layer.
The measurements are controlled and displayed by an easy-to-use software.
The MagicMaX Universal has compact design of sensor and electronics and durable due to the solid-
state design without motors or moving parts.
The versatile multimeter support variety of detectors:
■ Semiconductor sensors combining high sensitivity and a compact sensor design without the need of
high voltage and correction of ambient temperature and pressure for the applications of radiography,
fluoroscopy, mammography, and dental;
■ Ionization chambers for the CT applications;
■ Current probe for measuring the tube current with non-invasive or invasive choice;
■ Illuminance detector for testing the monitor display quality.
A unique six channel electrometer ASIC inside the MagicMaX Universal multimeter converts the
radiation induced currents in detectors into electrical values. The data are collected by a microcontroller
and transmitted to the PC via a high speed USB interface in real time which allows long term wave form
recording at highest time resolution similar to high performance oscilloscopes.
Depending on application, the MagicMaX Universal uses the following detectors:
■ RQA - single detector for radiography, fluoroscopy, and dental applications
■ RQM - single detector for mammography
■ XR – multi-detector for radiography and fluoroscopy applications
■ XM - multi-detector for mammography
■ DCT10-MM and DCT30-MM Ionization chambers for CT

a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations from radio (cellular / cordless) telephone and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM, FM broadcast, and TV cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the MagicMaX Universal is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, the MagicMaX Universal should be observed to verify normal operation. If
abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the
MagicMaX Universal.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the MagicMaX Universal
The MagicMaX Universal is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the MagicMaX Universal can help
prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and
mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the MagicMaX Universal as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to
the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is afflicted by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

The Excel window will open and the measurement results will be written in to the selected template.
ENSURE THE TEMPLATE MATCHES THE EXPORTED DATASET
Please ensure that the template is for the same application of the exported
dataset, e.g., the units in the template should be the same as the measured units
of the exported dataset.
6.2.3. Creating Templates

MagicMaX recognizes where to export data by naming header cells with a specified name. The cell
name becomes a token that MagicMaX looks for to map values to columns. That is, MagicMaX writes
the corresponding measurement data into the column under the corresponding named cell. A token
consists of the sensor identifier and value type identifiers.
Some examples for (cell name in Excel):
• SensorTypeDigitizerItemTypeDuration for (Exposure) Duration
• SensorTypeMultiItemTypeDose for Multi-detector Dose
• SensorTypeMultiItemTypeRate MSRate for Multi-detector Dose Rate
An easy way to generate a template is to use an Excel file exported from MagicMaX, delete the data,
modify it to your needs, and save it as an Excel template file.

Example:
Cell name token

Name of the parameter
Name of the sensor
Unit of the parameter
In Appendix, a list of tokens can be used as a cell name in an Excel template. After defining the needed
triples (only the cell names are mandatory) and formatting the template, save it as an Excel template file
(*.xltx). Make sure it is in the MagicMaX template folder,
Local Disk (C) - Users - [User's folder] - AppData - Roaming - Microsoft - Windows -Templates -
