Changing Preprogrammed Exposure Settings
The VetPro DC Animal Health Dental X-ray System allows the operator to
increase or decrease image density for all presets for a receptor
simultaneously or to change each of the technique factors for a preset
individually. You can also restore factory default settings. For charts of the
default settings, refer to Preprogrammed Exposure Times on page 21 in the
VetPro DC User Manual.
Note:
If the 12” [30 cm] cone will be used, configure the VetPro DC for
use with the 12” cone before changing preprogrammed exposure
settings. Configuring the VetPro DC for use with the 12” cone will reset
exposure settings to the default settings used with the 12” cone.
