Abstract

The illustrated embodiment includes a selection device for the radiographic exposure values of each radiographic system, as well as a switching arrangement for connecting one of the radiographic systems in each instance to a common feed and control apparatus. The operating console is provided with representations of all associated radiographic systems. There is present for each radiographic system at least one signal lamp for the purpose of illuminating the representation of the radiographic system on the operating console, said signal lamp being a component of a monitoring device for monitoring the operational readiness and proper operation of the radiographic systems. It is possible to symbolically represent the path of rays of each radiographic system, and to associate with each radiation path symbol at least one signal lamp for the purpose of illumination which is likewise a component of the monitoring device.
