The latest equipment manufactured by Vatech utilizes NCSW program during the image
acquisition. The user instruction and related information of the NCSW program can be
reviewed in the Vatech equipment manual.
1. Click the [IO Sensor] or [IO Camera] button in the Acquisition tab. Once the IO sensor or IO
camera is connected, template where the acquired image is located is changed. The
numbered teeth are displayed on the screen.
Depending on the connected device, the image processing options can be selected
before the image acquisition.
For the IO Sensor, the IO Sensor and the IO Sensor Filtering option can be selected.
1. IO Sensor: It lists the IO Sensor that are currently connected. It lists up to four IO
Sensors, and user can select the desired IO Sensor device.
