Collimators Calibration
It is recommended to perform the Collimators Calibration annually
to ensure optimal image quality. This calibration is also necessary if
a mechancial adjustment is made to the Beam Limiter or if image
quality has degraded. The Panel Calibration must be performed prior
to this. The Collimator Calibration runs in both Portrait and
Landscape positions and takes less than 3 minutes to complete.

7. After performing the Panel Calibration click the Calibrate
(middle) button in the Collimators field.
