XT V 160 X-ray System
Once the sample is loaded and you have set the initial X-ray conditions, you can switch
X-rays on. When you do this, there is a delay before the X-rays are generated by the X-ray
source in the inspection system.
This is the pre-warning delay and is a safety feature. The length of the pre-warning delay is
set to two seconds by default.
By default the pre-warning delay only occurs if the system door has
been opened since the last X-ray On.
To switch X-rays on, follow these steps:
1. In the X-ray zone, click Switch X-rays On .

•
The higher µA is set, the greater the brightness.
