There is no recommended time to hold the X-ray source at the maximum kV during
auto-conditioning. The longer it is held there, the more stable the X-ray source will be at
higher kV values.
If auto-conditioning fails repeatedly, then it generally means that the
X-ray source needs cleaning.

The Inspect-X System Status window shows the detailed status of the system and whether
interlocks have been made to allow the manipulator to be moved within the cabinet and
X-rays to be generated. If interlocks are not made, and the doors on the inspection system
