The X-Ray Image Logger (XMSL) takes X-Ray images from whole-round sections and section-halves. It measures sections one by one.
WARNING: This is an X-Ray imaging system, not place your hand under the source. Ensure that you receive the apropriate training before using it.
...
Figure 6.- X-Ray status. As the source ramps up, the measured values will update.
WARNING: During X-Ray measurements a flashing red light will be on. Do not open the doors during this period.
9. System will move the core and automatically take images along the section (Figure 7) until the actuator reaches its limit switch and returns to the home position. At that moment the source will ramp down.
Figure 7.- IMS display during imaging.
10. Source ramps down, a window with the message 'X-RAY OFF' (Figure 8) will appear and the red light will turn off.
Figure 8.- X-Ray OFF status window.
11. XMSL Section Information window will reappear on the screen (Figure 8).
...
11. Open the load door and place the XMSL whole-round or section-half Pusher section onto the track. Close the load door.
12. Select Pusher end sequence in the Sample ID windowClick PUSHER END SEQUENCE. The source will ramp back up and the motion control system will continue to push the section through the x-ray system.
- X-Rays OFF
- Figure 9 will be displayed when the X-ray Off command is sent to the CP120 source. The window will be displayed until the kV has been confirmed to be at zero.
- You will also see this window flash on during X-Ray START when the CP120 fails to respond to the start command. The X-ray off will reset communications with the CP120 and bring it to a known state which will clear any communication issue.

User Guide.
Note: Recalibrate the detector if the detector grid pattern becomes visible in the images.
NOTE: During imaging, the user can use the software abort button to end the imaging process and ramp down the source. The abort button is available when the x-ray source is ramping up and during the imaging process.
If the abort button is used, a dialog window will appear (Figure 9). Once pressed, imaging will end and the user will need to start imaging the section from the beginning. Dialog window options are:
Return to Load Position: Actuator returns to the home position. User will need to manually remove core
Stop and Do Nothing: Actuator will remain in place. Use this option if the section had jammed in the XMSL or is there is a hardware issue. 
Figure 9- Dialog when after user selects abort during imaging. The x-ray source will automatically ramp down once abort is selected. The section in the imager will need to be restarted from the beginning once abort is selected.
