For demonstration and testing purposes, the Instrumentarium digital x-ray extension may be put into simulation mode. While in simulation mode, the Instrumentarium digital x-ray extension will return sample images without requiring either the Instrumentarium hardware or a x-ray machine.
In order for the extension to be able to run in simulation mode, the file InstrumentariumSimImagePack.DAT is required to exist in the main CliniViewXV/XrayVision application directory. This file may be manually copied into the main application sub-directory or can be automatically placed there by running the InstrumentariumSimImageUpgrade.EXE upgrader available from Apteryx, Inc.
Start the CliniViewXV/XrayVision software.
Select Options from the Tools menu.
Click on the Sensor tab.
Click on the Instrumentarium option in the Sensor Device Options list.
Enable the Run
in simulation mode option.
Select which type of sample
x-ray you would like returned by enabling the proper option under Which digital x-ray systems ...
Note that
you should only select one of the options when in simulation mode. If
you select more than one, the system will return an image based on an
internal priority: pan; ceph; intra-oral. In
other words, if "pan" is enabled it will always return a pan
image even if the other options are enabled. If
"ceph" and "intra-oral" are selected, then it will
return a ceph image.
The digital pan and digital ceph returned by the simulator are half the size of the actual images returned by Instrumentarium's digital x-ray products (the digital intra-oral, however, is real sized). These images have been reduced to minimize the size of the simulation pack and images produced during the simulation. The resolutions of the images have been altered to reflect this fact and realistic measurements should be possible in the simulated images.
