How to proceed
- Continue through the initial setup (using "Next" and ">") until the next configuration
mask is displayed.
- If you need more detailed information during configuration:
- Click the "enable help pages" button in the " list of system options" mask.
- When you modify settings in the corresponding mask, click the <Save> button and
confirm the information dialogs with "OK" to save the settings. Click <Finish> to cancel
without saving.
On the following pages, navigating and saving will no longer be explicitly mentioned!

Notice After saving, the service UI often requests a restart ("restart system
pending" appears in the bottom line). You do not need to restart imme-
diately. Complete the configuration steps first and then select HOME.
The restart will be performed automatically. Depending on the modifi-
cations, a restart of the application or a reboot of the system will be
performed. It may take several minutes until the system is up again -
do not interrupt the restart procedure.

Set the CT Image to OLQHDUin the LUT settings platform.
Print the reference image with the linear grayscale bar (located under
c:\Somaris\service\Reference_images) to the camera using the filming task card.
Use the densometer to check the printed linear grayscale bar on the film sheet for linear

An incorrect AE Title in the camera does not necessarily result in a
completely incorrect camera printout. Usually, the camera sets a
default behavior for an unknown AE title. This means that images are
printed, but they are not of the desired quality.
