Radio Frequency Emissions
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in

About Films
The film digitizer handles standard radiograph film sizes up to 14”(35.5cm) wide.
You can batch feed multiple films (up to 25), and you can mix film sizes ranging from 8”
x 8”(20.3cm x 24.5cm) to 14”x 17”(35.5cm x 43cm) in one batch feed stack—as long
as you follow the rules below.
IMPORTANT: Remove stickers, tape, staples, paper clips, etc.
from films before scanning. These may cause serious film
feeding problems and may damage the digitizer’s internal
mechanisms. Failure to remove extraneous items from
films will void your warranty.
Load films just as you would view them on a light box, with these qualifications:
Films must be loaded left justified.
Do not load films more than 17”(43.2cm) long for batch scanning in the auto feeder.
See “Digitizing a single film,” later in this chapter, when loading films longer than
17”.

Basic Operating Instructions
1. Turn on the film digitizer and wait for all three LEDs to turn green.
Note: Always turn on the film digitizer before turning on the
computer. This enables the computer to recognize the digitizer.
Note: Several minutes are required for the digitizer to carry out
its internal diagnostics and establish communications with the
scanning application. These activities must be completed
before you can load film into the digitizer.
2. Turn on the computer.
3. Launch the scanning application.
IMPORTANT: Remove stickers, tape, staples, paper clips, etc.
from films before scanning. These may cause serious film
feeding problems. Failure to remove extraneous items from
films will void your warranty.
4. If you will be digitizing films 17”
(43.2cm) or longer, raise the film support
bar.
Longer films out to 51” may require
manual support.
5. Load the film.
How you load the film depends on whether you are digitizing one film or multiple
films, and the film sizes to be digitized. See the next pages for details.
CAUTION: X-ray images displayed on a computer monitor are
representative only. A variety of factors influence image density
and size—including monitor luminance and calibration, window
and level settings, zoom level, and dimensional and grayscale
inaccuracies resulting from build-up of tolerances in the
digitizer, display board and computer. For this reason, special
precautions must be exercised (e.g., calibrating the software
ruler and computer monitor) when taking measurements from
digitized images. Please refer to the user’s manual for your
digitizing software for more information.
Note: All films, regardless of size, must be left justified when
loaded into the feeder and/or digitizer.
19441-001 Rev. B VIDAR NDTPRO Industrial Film Digitizer User’s Guide 10
Digitizing a Single Film
Options for digitizing single films
There are two ways to scan a single film:
By manually inserting the film behind the blue bar (as
described in this section), or
By treating the single film as a batch-of-one (if the scanning
application supports this approach); for instructions, see
“Digitizing multiple films” (next section in this manual).
The digitizer cannot batch-of-one feed a single film smaller than
2.36" wide x 8" long (5.99cm wide x 20.3cm long). Do not scan
paper.
1. Hold the film in front of you as you
would view it on a light box.
2. Align the left edge of the film with
the film guide on the left side of the
feeder.
3. Place the film into the slot
BEHIND the blue bar.
The blue bar has a lip and a groove
on the top edge of the digitizer
where the feeder is attached. Place
a single film directly behind the
blue bar.
When the digitizer senses the film,
it automatically stages the film in preparation for digitizing. The film will first move
down, then up. This is normal operation.
CAUTION: If the film is not staged properly, do not manually
pull the film out of the digitizer. Instead, use the scanning
application’s EJECT command to remove the film.
Note: When a film has been staged, it is in the digitizer’s light
path. The ADC (Automatic Digitizer Calibration) feature requires
that the light path be clear of the film for proper background
calibration of the digitizer. The digitizer will automatically adjust
the film’s position to properly proceed with ADC. Depending on
the location of the film’s leading or trailing edge, and the length
of time the film has been blocking the light path, the film will be:
a) pushed up, or b) pushed down.
4. Using your scanning software, execute the Scan command.
