Network
vTrigger Mode (Automatic Exposure Detection)
WARNING Do not connect the X-ray Detector to the common IT network, but use a
point-to-point connection with the host computer or dedicated WLAN
access point. Ignoring this warning may cause unauthorized access to
this device.
WARNING Ensure that only authorized users have access to the X-ray Detector and
the WLAN access point. Unauthorized access may cause disruption to
the normal operation of the X-ray Detector and access point.
WARNING The vTrigger mode requires a sufficient X-ray dose rate to the X-ray
Detector surface to trigger image acquisition. The required dose rate
can vary at different use conditions. The system integrator must
evaluate the vTrigger operation with the complete X-ray setup in order
to secure the proper image acquisition in vTrigger mode.
WARNING vTrigger starts exposure upon detecting X-rays. Before exposure,
software must be switched to a configuration mode that has vTrigger
enabled. Do not expose before the software indicates the X-ray
Detector is prepared for acquisition.
WARNING Battery life in an armed vTrigger mode is limited. To improve battery
life, the X-ray Detector should be allowed to idle between acquisition
sessions.
WARNING Do not apply any, handling, loading, mechanical shock, or electronic
noise to the X-ray Detector while it is in vTrigger mode.
