Running a Protocol
To run a protocol
Click Run Protocol in the left pane.
The densitometer recalibrates to the scan area settings and then runs through
the steps in imaging mode. You see the results in Preview View as the scan
progresses.
Tip: You can click Cancel Run during the scan, and Image Lab will return
to the Protocol Setup window.
Note: This cancellation will be logged in the system and instrument logs.
You can also cancel the run while the instrument is calibrating. The instrument
will complete its calibration operation and then cancel. This might take some
time.
The software runs through the steps in imaging mode and a progress indicator
tracks the progress.
After the images are taken, Image Lab continues with the detection, analysis, and
reporting steps if these steps were selected in the Protocol Setup pane. When
Image Lab has completed running the protocol, it displays the images that were
acquired. You can then edit and save these images or do further analysis on them.
To end the protocol
Click Cancel Run.
