The DIOX window appears.

3. Press the XRAY button (

The lights on the top of the scanner will turn red. The DIOX indicators for Red/Green Lights
and X-Ray On/Off will also turn red.

It means that the source is enabled to generate X-Rays but it is not powered. Since the
source is not powered, there is no radiation emitted.

4. Start VOTI's Diagnostic Tool application, which is the software for the X-ray source, located

c:\MonoBlock XP\X3825 Spellman*.exe

5. Enter parameters if not already displayed.

6. Start XView using
