System Calibration or Validation Settings
When you perform a system calibration or a validation, the scan settings section looks like this:
Scan Name
The scan name can be entered (by tapping in the box and entering information with the
keyboard) or will be automatically assigned when you choose a system calibration or
validation. The abbreviation "Cal" or "Val" will appear in the name box and on the following
screen in the title bar with a time stamp.
Scan Type
Select Validation or Calibration.
Scan Length
The scan time and processing time vary with the scan settings you choose. Take note of
these times, especially after you make changes to the settings, because you may not want
to start a scan that will take more time than you have.
Resolution
The Resolution setting determines the quality of your image. High-resolution scans
produce more data (or lines per millimeter), though they also take more time to process.
Note: Resolution appears only with validations (and not with calibrations).
Preview Image Button
Tap this button to get a preview (or scout) image of the sample and display it on your screen.
Based on this image, you may want to adjust the sample's placement or scan settings. This
feature can help ensure the quality of your full scan.
Note: When you tap Preview Image, the X-ray source is activated, icons change accordingly and
the Turn X-rays Off button appears.
