Introduction

 to the X-ray system 

 

 

XT V 160 X-ray System   

XTM0011-F2

4. 

Workflow buttons

 

The workflow buttons provide access to the controls and settings for Radiography, 
Program, CT, X.Tract and Setup. The buttons shown depend on the capabilities of the 
inspection system. 

 

5. 

System messages

 

Error, warning and information messages appear here, alerting you to problems in a 
workflow or successful completion of an operation. A green tick next to System Status 
shows that interlocks are made and X-rays can be generated. A red cross indicates that 
interlocks are not made; no X-rays can be generated. 

 

6. 

Control panel

 

Once a workflow has been selected, the control panel displays relevant controls and 
settings on a series of tabs designed to step you through the selected process. 

 

7. 

Histogram

 

Shows the grey level distribution within an image and provides access to tools to adjust 
the tone of an image and to display a black and white binary image or a pseudo-colour 
image.
