2.7 Using the Wedge-Separation Indicators
For dual-probe scanning, the wedge-separation indicators, along with the 1 mm

between the wedge faces.
To use the wedge-separation indicators
1. Set up the COBRA scanner (see section “Configuring the Scanner Using the Setup
Template” on page 27 or section “Configuring the Scanner Without the Setup
Template” on page 35).
2. Loosen the crossbar screws on both sides of the scanner.
3. Slide the wedge-separation indicator(s) on the crossbar(s) so that the right hand
side of the wedge-separation indicator(s) is aligned with the n
th major graduation
from the right hand end of the crossbar(s) [see Figure 2-25 on page 42].
