9.1

Operational States

The operational states of the detector can be categorized as follows:

Offset Calibration (always OEM-initiated)

Gain Calibration (always OEM-initiated)

Analog Offset Calibration (always-OEM initiated)

Continuous Acquisition (fluoroscopy-type)

10.0

System Software

The software package allows installation of the Virtual CP that provides the application program 

interface (API) to the detector, allowing control and image transfer functionality 

(see the Virtual CP Interface document for more information). The software package also 

includes ViVA™ software—the viewing application used to perform detector calibration, 

detector setup, image acquisition, and image corrections in a Windows PC environment. 

The detector files are specific to the detector, providing calibration and configuration files. 

Installation of the software and detector files is briefly discussed in the following sections.

10.1

Software Installation

The Setup.exe in the root directory of the software package provides an automated software 

installation process.

1

Locate the 

software package

 and click 

Setup.

Setup

Note

ViVA™ is intended to be used for development, testing, and maintenance 
purposes only. A Software Developer Kit (SDK) including sample code is 
located in the default install directory at 

c:\ProgramFiles\Varex\PaxscanLXX\Developer
