Set the absorbed dose rate (ADR=)
SDRX: keyword (or sample input files)


Syntax:
    SDRX: ADR={absorbed dose rate (Gy/hour)}
Example:
    SDRX: ADR=20      !Both fractions are delivered using a dose rate of 20 Gy/hour


Purpose: Set the instantaneous absorbed dose rate used to deliver each dose fraction.
Data Type:
real
Unit:
Gy/hour
Default: 1000 Gy/hour
Comments:  Both fractions are delivered at the same dose rate. To gain more control over dose fraction delivery, use the RADX: keyword.  With the RADX: keyword, multiple fractions of different sizes can be specified and a different dose rate can be used to deliver each for each fraction.  The fraction size is 1/2 the total delivered dose.
