CM120BT Status

BT

The CM120BT is operational.  Refresher training is available upon request.   

We have started using camera software EMMenu 4.  This is also being used on the HT7800 and will ease the learning curve.  Added benefit of reliability.  Flatfield corrections are more effective and the camera dose is no longer required to be so low.  For those wishing to use the old EMMenu 3,  it is still available.
