Techniques are provided for operating an MR scanner that comprises gradient coils configured to generate a field gradient along coordinate axes of a coil coordinate system. The techniques include receiving limit values concerning the field gradient in the coil coordinate system and an MR scan protocol. Expected orientations of a logical coordinate system are then determined and, for each one, a compliant value for a timing parameter is determined and stored in a database. The MR scanner is controlled to carry out an MR scan, and afterwards the orientation is set to a first orientation. A first value for the timing parameter according to the first orientation is determined based on the data stored in the database, and the MR scanner is controlled to carry out a scan sequence according to the first orientation and the first value.
