Calibration Frequency
The DR Detector must be recalibrated at regular intervals. Messages will be
displayed on the NX workstation when recalibration is required.
Perform calibration when exposure conditions have changed significantly and
after a major change to the hardware or software configuration of the X-ray
system.
A DR detector used for veterinary applications has a calibration interval of 12
months, regardless of the model.

Each NX workstation has its own set of cali-
bration data. The regular calibration must be
performed on each of the workstations.
