After you have registered the patient for the examination, the Examination task
card appears automatically. Here you can check the default examination parame-
ters. If necessary, you can change the settings in the control area or at the control
panel of the C-arm system.
Individual exposures are released directly at the C-arm system with the hand
switch or footswitch.
If you x-ray a patient without having registered him/her, this patient will have the
status of an emergency patient in the local database.

If, however, you want to optimize the examination settings according to your
medical indication, simply call up the required parameters by using the corre-
sponding selection lists. In this case, switch to the
