Operation

that are all the same size. If you need to change any of the scan 

parameters, like scan area, use the Odyssey

®

 Application Software to 

start the scan rather than the keypad (see the Odyssey User Guide).

Scans are initiated from the keypad by pressing the 

Start

 button. 

Presets are chosen by scrolling through the list using the 

Next

 button 

and pressing the 

Start

 button when the desired Preset is displayed. 

Scanning will start and will continue until the entire scan area 

specified in the Preset has been scanned.

File names are automatically assigned to scans started from the 

keypad using the first 7 characters of the chosen Preset file, followed 

by the date and a sequential index number. An example would be

Membran-12-10_5

in which Membrane was the Preset name, December 10 was the 

month and day of the scan, and this was the 5th scan initiated from 

the front panel keypad on December 10.

Scans initiated from the Odyssey front panel are stored in the 

public

scan group. They can then be downloaded for analysis with the 

Odyssey Application Software.
