may be controlled. Additional controls are displayed if you are using CT or X.Tract workflows,
which allow you to centre, rotate or tilt a sample.
Before using the manipulator to position the sample, ensure that the
manipulator has been homed. This needs to be performed each time
Inspect-X or the computer is re-started. Home the manipulator from
the
Setup workflow.
Position panel
1. Shows requested and current positions for each axis in the left column and increment
value in the right column.
Requested positions are shown in blue. In the example above, the X-axis position will
change to the requested position (150.00) when you click , and the Y-axis will
increment or decrement by 10 mm when you click or .
2. Allows you to define limits of travel of axes on horizontal systems. The Mag-axis in the
image above has a travel limit applied, shown by a red bar. This is especially useful in
preventing collisions. It is recommended to set limits when loading new samples. XT V
systems have an anti-collision system built in so the limit controls are not needed.
3. Opens the Saved Positions window, which allows specific manipulator positions to be
saved and recalled.
4. Moves the manipulator to the Load position. You can then open the operator door and
load the sample onto the manipulator.
5. If you want to move the manipulator to a position and then move back to the previous
position, you can copy the original positions and then paste back these values.
6. The button resets the requested values back to the actual positions.
Optimise the image
The X-ray parameters that need to be set to perform an X-ray inspection of a sample are:
•
Beam energy (kV) , which controls the energy of the X-rays and hence the penetration of
the sample.
