Setting up the Midmark Progeny ClearVision sensor

Dentrix Imaging supports acquiring intraoral images from the Midmark Progeny ClearVision intraoral X-ray sensors on computers running the Windows operating system. Drivers for the Progeny ClearVision sensor must be installed on each computer that the Progeny ClearVision sensor will be connected to. You must install calibration (correction) files on each computer that the Progeny ClearVision sensor will be connected to.

Note:

·        Progeny and e2v sensors are not able to function on the same machine. If you are changing from an e2v sensor to a Progeny sensor, see the "Troubleshooting" section.

·        Before installing the Progeny ClearVision sensor, you must install the acquisition agent application on each computer that you use to acquire images. Please refer to Setting up the acquisition agent for instructions on downloading and installing the acquisition agent.
