A detector and methods for producing x-ray images, more particularly based on x-rays transmitted through an inspected object. The housing is configured to receive a plurality of electric cells. In various embodiments, a ramp up protocol is implemented to begin the duty cycle, a ramp down protocol is implemented to end the duty cycle, or both the ramp up protocol and the ramp down protocol are implemented. The interpolator receives a first reference signal composed of one of the even order signals through the first multiplexer, and receives a second reference signal composed of one of the odd order signals through the second multiplexer. The distal end of the syringe connects to the proximal end of the adapter.
