Definition of a term

Term Description
Dark image Offset, without X-ray image
Bright image Gain, with X-ray image
Signal Signal = Gain – Offset [LSB]
Value of gray scale
LSB (Least Significant Bit)
ex.) 12bit = 1~4096 LSB

Introduction
Serial No of each sensor

Each sensor has the unique serial number and the different calibration data.
Be careful about confusing the calibration data and ini file.

Calibration Step
Step 1. Sensor setting
Step 2. Copy & paste EzSensor.ini file
Step 3. Delete the previous
calibration data.
Step 4. Execute software.
And then Calibration software appear.
Step 5. S/W Setting
Step 6. Dark frame Acquisition
Step 7. Bright frame Acquisition
Step 8. Generate Bad pixels map
Step 9. Copy & paste calibration file
Step 10. Copy & paste EzSensor.ini file

Preparation for calibration
Step 1. Sensor setting
(1) Distance between X-ray cone and sensor : 8cm
※ Distance is depend on capability of X-ray generator. So, refer 'Recommendation on
Exposure Time' table in manual.

8cm

(2) Position the cone make horizontally with sensor.

※ Recommend that put the 4mm aluminum filter on a sensor.

Step 2. Copy & paste EzSensor.ini file

Serial no. : CR15HMHB4111-0001

(1) Copy ‘EzSensor.ini’ file in …

C:\EzSensor\MultiSensor\CRHMHB4111-0001

(2) Paste ‘EzSensor.ini’ file in …

C:\EzSensor

C:\EzSensor\(Serial No)\EzSensor.ini
This file has the setting information about (Serial No) sensor.

Step 6. Dark frame Acquisition

② (1) Click Get Dark button.

(2) Check the dark frame(image) by clicking View Frames
button.

Dark image file save in the ‘C:\EzSensor\CAL’ directory.

Step 7. Bright frame Acquisition

② (1) Click Get Bright button.

(2) Exposure X-ray.
(3) Check the bright frame(image) by clicking View Frames
button.

① Bright image file save in the ‘C:\EzSensor\CAL’ directory.

4 0.20 sec 2400~2700 3

5 0.25 sec 2900~3300 2

If signal level which you want to acquiring is too low or

too high, delete this file by click ‘<Purge’ button. (4) Keep the X-ray generator settings, and Exposure X-ray. Then

And then try again after adjust the exposure time of X-ray the image of a similar level is obtained.
(5) Get the frames as 'number of frame' through repeating above

step (4).

5 frames for Point 1

(6) Adjust the exposure time for each point refer (1)~(3). And get
the frames as 'number of frame' through repeating above step.

Step 7-2. Generate Cal. Point.

(1) Set ‘Tolerance’ value as ‘50’.

More than 2 different frames are averaged as 1 frame by

tolerance value.

(2) Click Generate button. And then Cal. Point files

are created.
