② A photo-like program opens and two pop-up windows appear.

‘Scanner movement stats’ : Detector and tube move to initial position. Empty the bed
so there is no problem with the movement of the arm, It also means that there is a
connection between the BMD and the Workstation. Press Yes.

‘X-ray Calibration’ : It means system full calibration. Press No because the device is not
currently calibrated.
③ If "Loop Wait Complete .. Timeout" Error occurs, refer to the below and check the serial
cable connection and Com port setting.
