Workflow
The workflow for identifying cassettes and digitizing image plates depends on
the configuration of your system.
■
In the interchangeable configuration a cassette is uniquely identified by the
identification data in the cassette chip. Therefore, you must first identify the
cassette via the ID Station with ID Tablet before you can digitize the image plate.
Refer to
‘Reading an image plate in the interchangeable configuration’ on
page 25 .
❖
An exception are emergency image plates which you can digitize without
having identified the cassette. The unidentified emergency image plate will
be given default ID data. Refer to
‘Reading an emergency image plate in the
interchangeable configuration’ on page 31 .
■
In the dedicated configuration the identification data are transmitted from the
ID Station to the dedicated Centricity™ SP1001 via the network. Therefore, the
Centricity™ SP1001 can digitize the image plate while you are entering the
identification data on the ID Station. Refer to
‘Reading an image plate in the
dedicated configuration’ on page 28 .
