Reading an image plate

The main function of the Centricity™ MP3510 is digitizing image plates and 
transmitting the digital image data to the preview station and the image 
processing station. 

To read one or more image plates:

1

Make sure the cassette has been properly identified via the ID Station.

Refer to the User manual of the ID Software. 

2

Check that the Centricity™ MP3510 is ready for operation: 

•

the Centricity™ MP3510 must display the operator screen with ‘Ready’ or ‘Busy’ 
status.

•

the status indicator at the top of the Centricity™ MP3510 must be constant or 
flashing green.

v

The Centricity™ MP3510 is operational if the status field equals 
‘READY’, even if status messages of the destination are shown (e.g. ‘QS 
not ready’).
