Setting up Configurations for Different Types of Acquisitions

PMOD supports the concept of different PMOD users. Each user can maintain his own preferences such as the model selection and order, user interface font size, report layout etc, and PMOD maintains for each user independent tool configurations and loading histories.

The USERS tab of the configuration utility allows creating PMOD user accounts, and configuring their properties. The basic documentation includes a detailed description of the USER configuration in the section PMOD Basics/General Configuration/Users.

Note: For all changes of the settings it is important to first select the affected user, and then proceed with the configuration.

Dedicated PMOD users can be configured for each small animal type and each radio isotope, e.g. mouse_F18, mouse_C11, rat_F18, rat_C11, etc. The purpose of this action is to preserve simultaneously the calibration parameters for different types of acquisition.

The main steps to achieve this facility are as follows:

1. Start PMOD.
2. Select the appropriate user from the user list in the main PMOD toolbox and Log In.
3. Start the PSAMPLE correction tool.
4. Select Calibration Factor panel.
5. Determine the calibration factor as described in the Twilite Calibration Section/Workflow for determination of the Calibration Factor.
6. Activate the Save Calibration Defaults button in the bottom line to save and set the parameters.
7. Logout from the user account.

The results are therefore available only for the PMOD user account within which the determination was performed. In this way, different calibration factors are available simultaneously, but only one per user.
