@Mike,
Damn, with those shock detectors indicating red I suppose the warranty on the imaging array is void
But seriously, these plates endure quite a rough life so I am surprised that there are shock sensors needed. The plate should be adequately buffered to protect it. Sounds like a manufacturer keen to have a reason to refuse warranty service ! IIRC the smaller plates cost £10K and the larger ones, a lot more. Imagine breaking one that you had bought with your own hard earned money (people like VET's also use them)
Many OEMs of these plates sell the end user a support contract at great annual cost. I can now see why the end users have to cough up that money as these plates are a serious investment and you do not want the OEM declining service due to 'abuse' by your staff.
I hope these plates give you some enjoyment Mike. They were way too large for my needs and hacking them to operate is beyond my skill set. It would be great if you could source the PC software for the Canon plates, or even an engineering test software. Worth contacting Canon ? From what I understand, the PC just connects to the plate via Wi-Fi and whenever an X-Ray is taken, it parcels the image up and sends it automatically. If another download of the data is needed it may be requested.
It may well be a FIFO system where a new exposure pushes the old one out of the memory ?
By the way, I am impressed with the image coming out of the Fire FLIR camera. Love it. It has gone to a good home with me
Thank you for your kindness and generosity today.
All the Best
