How do I set up multiple imaging devices to use with EXAMINE Pro?
It is not unusual for a practice to have multiple imaging devices they wish to use in EXAMINE Pro simultaneously - in this case you can set up multiple acquisition buttons using macros, so you can have a separate button for each device.
📝 Please note: This process is for EXAMine Pro Version 8. It's the same process for Version 6 but the icons are different.
Start by going to 'Options' → 'Macro's'.
You will then see the 'Macros' menu. To create a new macro, click the 'Add' button on the right.
Start by giving the macro a name - generally it is best to just use the device/brand you are creating the macro for.
Ensure you tick 'Create button' option, so that a new button is created. Click 'Select image' to choose an image that will be displayed on the button - you can choose many different manufacturers. Manufacturers' icons are not available in Version 6.
Once you have selected the image you wish to use, save your macro by clicking 'Save'.
Now you will need to record the steps you wish the macro to carry out.
Select the macro you wish to record on the left.
Click the record button (the red circle).
You will see an info box pop up telling you to press 'Ctrl' + 'F12' to stop recording - click 'OK'.
Once you are recording, select the module you wish the macro to load by going to 'Options' → 'X-ray Acquisition'.
Once you have select the correct module press the acquisition button.
Once the acquisition screen loads, press 'Ctrl' + 'F12' to end the recording.
The macro will now be recorded successfully.
You then need to set the acquisition button back to the device it was originally set to, otherwise you won't be able to use both devices.
You can repeat this process to create as many macros as required for each device the user requires.
