Troubleshooting

This table identifies possible problems and procedures to fix them:

Problem

Potential cause

Troubleshooting procedure

EquiView Digital 
Radiography System 
does not turn on

•  No power
•  Faulty power switch on 

the computer

•  Check the power cord, plugs, and sockets
•  Check the fuses
•  Contact a service technician

Computer does not 
identify the digital 
X-ray plate 

•  No cable connection 

between the plate and 
the computer

•  Software not started

•  Check the cable connection from the plate 

to the computer and, if necessary, make the 
connection

•  Start the EquiView software and wait until the 

connection has been made

Starting the EquiView 
software produces 
“Error initializing 
device. Could not 
connect to Meteor II 
CL hardware...”

•  This message 

indicates that the 
EquiView software 
cannot communicate 
with the Matrox video 
card.

•  Make sure the plate cable is correctly 

connected to the computer. Try to run the 
EquiView software again. 

•  If the same message appears, try the 

following:

  Choose Start> System> Hardware and then 

click Device Manager. You should see a list of 
devices, including the Matrox Meteor II. The 
associated icon should be green with no other 
symbols. Click the icon and click Properties. 
The device should be enabled. If the device is 
disabled, click Enable. If this does not solve the 
problem, try restarting the computer by turning 
it off and waiting a few minutes before restarting. 
If you still get the error, contact IDEXX Technical 
Support.

The EquiView 
software opens but 
new X rays do not 
appear or an image 
with a broad white 
region appears.

•  Error in 

synchronization or 
error in connection to 
trigger synchronization 
unit.

•  Check synchronization. Is the trigger 

synchronization unit connected correctly? 
Check all connections, and check and/or 
replace batteries.

Image is 
underexposed or 
overexposed.

•  Wrong exposure 

factors 

 
 

•  Presets for first view 

images not optimal

•  Check that exposure factors on your X-ray 

source are set correctly. For example, 80 
kVp and an mAs of 1.8 (0.12 seconds on the 
MinXray) should give a good image of most 
leg joints in the horse.

•  It is possible to adjust the presets in 

the system that will globally change the 
appearance of the first view images (the 
view portrayed on-screen before any manual 
manipulation takes place). Your system was 
adjusted for your preference at installation. If 
your images are not diagnostic in the first view, 
contact IDEXX Technical Support.

NOTE:

 Error messages without titles generally emanate from the Microsoft Windows
