DR Detector Calibration|Calibrating the DR Detector|13
6. Click Start Calibration.
A message may be displayed to remind you of using the correct modality settings.
7. The DR Calibration Tool will request to perform a series of exposures.
Refer to the Exposure Sequences further in this manual.
Before making each next exposure, make sure that the X-ray system is ready for making the ex-
posure and that the DR Calibration Tool is ready for receiving the exposure.
8. After the last exposure, the calibration is finished.
• Make a flat field exposure and check that there are no abnormal inhomogeneities in the im-
age.
• If the calibration was successful, the new calibration values are stored and used for all new
exposures on the DR Detector. Proceed with step 10.
• If the calibration was not successful, the old calibration values are restored and the DR Detec-
tor remains operational.
In that case, it is advised to check collimation and modality setup (tube position) and retry
the calibration procedure as soon as possible.
9. Try out the following remedy (problem solving):
• If the calibration fails this may be due to magnetic or electromagnetic interference or power
supply interference. Check the environment, reposition the DR Detector and restart the cali-
bration procedure.
• If the calibration fails this may be due to uneven exposure. Check the X-ray beam path for
presence of X-ray opaque objects or particles, e.g. on the upper surface of the DAP meter.
Note If calibration fails again contact your local service representative.
10.Exit the Calibration Tool.
11.Start the NX software.
In the Start menu, select All programs > Agfa > NX > Restart NX completely.
