1. Select Automatic or Manual mode of the collimator.
Note!
If there is no new examination and the System is in a Manual mode, the collimator
ignores the instructions of sent collimator area from the Imaging system. This can be use-
ful if the collimator area is intended to be kept for the next examination.

1. Automatic mode
2. Manual mode
When Automatic mode is selected the predefined values of the collimator light / x-ray field
size and the filter selection will be set automatically when the anatomical protocol is selected.
Both the light / x-ray field size and the filter can be changed when needed. In automatic mode
the maximum light / x-ray field size is restricted to the maximum active area of the imaging
unit.
When manual mode is selected the size of the collimator light / x-ray field size can be ad-
justed outside of the maximum active area of the imaging unit. When a new anatomical pro-
tocol is selected (for the same patient) the collimator light / x-ray field size or the filtration is
not changed even if size and filtration is defined different in the protocol.
