Reading an image plate
The main function of the Centricity™ SP1001 is digitizing image plates and
transmitting the digital image data to the preview station and the image
processing station. The actual workflow depends on the configuration of your
system.
Reading an image plate in the interchangeable configuration
In the interchangeable configuration, you must first identify the cassette via an
ID Station with ID Tablet before you can digitize the image plate.
To read an image plate:
1 Make sure the cassette has been identified properly via the ID Station.
2 Check that the Centricity™ SP1001 is ready for operation:
• the Centricity™ SP1001 must display the operator main screen with ‘Ready’
status, e.g.:
• the status indicator at the top of the Centricity™ SP1001 must be green and be lit
constantly.
❖
The Centricity™ SP1001 is operational if the status field equals ‘READY’,
even if status messages of the destination are shown (e.g. ‘QS not ready’).
