X-Ray System Tables

A change has been made to the names of the X-Ray system tables in order to make it clear which types of units the table is to be linked to, in order to simplify the linking process. As an example, a table named “Delta_PolariumG5” should be linked to units equipped with a “Delta rectifier” and “Polarium G5 batteries”.

More over, the system tables do not contain default set values due to the sensitivity of the mechanism. The customer must, however, define this for himself.

In addition to their ease of analysis, default tables have the advantage of making it easy to determine whether a configuration is correct or incorrect.
