๐Ÿ’ก Top tip: The Acteon UScan was previously known as Villa Scanograph - configure it via the Owandy/Villa module, as it uses the same driver as the Villa scanner. The site will need to be on V8 for this to work.

How do I set up Acteon UScan to work with EXAMINE Pro?

  • Firstly enable the X-Ray Owandy Module.

  • Within the Owandy module, go to the 'Sensors' tab and select the 'IngxCli (USB/WiFi)' tab, then tick the enabled box. Ensure 'Ask for sensor files' near the bottom of the screen is unticked.

  • Ensure the X-Ray Owandy/Villa module is selected with X-ray Acquisition.

  • Make sure the Villa standalone program is running before you enter the EXAMINE Pro acquisition screen. This can be started via a shortcut on the desktop or automatically when Windows starts (right-click on the red or green sensor icon in the system tray).

  • The option 'Start when Windows starts' should be checked.

  • Within the acquisition screen you should see the scanner interface. When it is green it means it is connected and ready to scan - it will go yellow when busy scanning.

  • EXAMINE Pro will also report on the status of the scanner at the bottom of the screen.

  • After a scan is taken there is also a dose indicator.

  • If the below screen appears, this is because they arenโ€™t scanning the plates in the correct way.
