Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1197807A2] The system has a transmitter (124), a receiver (126) of transmissions from the transmitter, an amplifier circuit for producing at least one output voltage based on a current signal from the receiver and a diagnostic circuit for connecting the amplifier circuit and the transmitter and for reducing the drive current to the transmitter. A current source provides a reference current to the amplifier circuit. Independent claims are also included for the following: an image generation device and a method of diagnosing a densitometer system in an image generation device.
