Turn X-rays Off Button
The Turn X-rays Off button appears when the X-ray source is active (you can tell when the X-ray
source is active because the X-ray icon and the "X-ray On" sign on both sides of the touch screen
is illuminated). Press and hold this button for 3–5 seconds to stop a scan. The button turns red
and a countdown begins, culminating in the scan's termination.
Notes
You also may stop a scan by tapping the Abort button or pressing the Emergency Stop
button on the machine itself.
Reasons to turn the X-rays off include: changing samples, moving sample placement,
and allowing the X-ray tube to cool down.
The X-ray tube will eventually burn out and require replacement. Similar to light bulbs,
frequent powering on and off can expedite burn out.
Background Processing Button
The Background Processing button provides access to the Background Processing screen. This
button appears on the main screen and in the bottom right corner of every screen.
If the gears of this button are moving, image processing (or reconstruction) is under way.
Note: You may not begin a scan while any image processing is under way.
