Operating the SIERRA™ plus film digitizer 1-60
VIDAR Film Digitizer Installation Guide
About films and their orientation
The SIERRA™ plus handles standard radiograph films up to 14" x 17".
It is important to load films in the proper orientation:

Load larger films in portrait orientation—just as you would view them
on a light box (see below left).

Load films whose longest dimension is 7" or less in landscape
orientation for proper film detection and staging (see below right).
You can feed multiple films (up to six), and you can mix film sizes in
one stack—as long as they are in the orientations shown above.
Note:
Unlike some VIDAR film digitizers, the SIERRA™ plus
does not have a prescan (ROI or Region Of Interest) function.
CAUTION:
X-ray images displayed on a computer monitor are
representative only. Dimensional and grayscale inaccuracies
may result from the build-up of tolerances in the digitizer, the
display board and the computer. For this reason, special
precautions must be exercised when taking measurements from
the digitized image. Please refer to the user’s manual for your
digitizing software for more information.
