Troubleshooting the KaVo IXS sensor

You can troubleshoot the KaVo IXS sensor.

Dtx Studio Bridge application

If the sensor is not working through the DTX Studio Bridge integration, do the following:

·        To verify that the DTX Studio Bridge application is working, in the System Tray, click the DTX Studio Bridge icon. If the application is not running, start it.

·        If the sensor does not appear, ensure the sensor is connected and appears in the Device Manager. (See Device Manager below.)

·        If the sensor appears but its status is not "Connected," either wait for the calibration files to install, or depending on the sensor's status, see "Device reservations" below.

Device Manager

1.   Make sure that the KaVo IXS sensor is detected by the computer.

2.   Open Device Manager, and then verify that the device appears.

Acquisition agent settings

1.   Close the Acquisition Agent application, and then verify that the DexisForcePlatinumFallback option is set to False in the Acquisition Agent.ini file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Acquisition Agent\Acquisition Agent.ini).

Note: Any changes you make to the Acquisition Agent.ini file must be made while the acquisition agent application is running; otherwise, the changes are not saved.

2.   To correct the issue, restart the computer.

DTX Studio Bridge – Sensor Hardware Errors

To view any hardware error codes, navigate to C:\ProgramData\DEXIS Imaging\Polaris\Log.

Error Code

What to Do

7 – DETECTOR_CURRENT_TOO_HIGH

Bypass any extension cables. If possible, plug sensor into multiple ports on front and back of computer. If you still receive this error, refer to DEXIS for a hardware issue.

9 – DARK_IMAGE_MEAN_TOO_HIGH

Indicates an issue with the sensor; refer to DEXIS for a hardware issue.

10 – DARK_IMAGE_MEAN_TOO_LOW

Indicates an issue with the sensor; refer to DEXIS for a hardware issue.

70 – NO_SENSOR_ATTACHED

Bypass any extension cables. If possible, plug sensor into multiple ports on front and back of computer. If  you still receive this error, refer to DEXIS for a hardware issue.

Device reservations

If the sensor's status is "Busy" in the DTX Studio application, but the sensor is not currently in use, the sensor might be reserved from a previous acquisition that was not canceled properly.

1.   Browse to C:\DTX Studio Bridge\Devices\Reservations, and then delete any data files.

2.   Unplug the sensor and plug it back in.

3.   In the DTX Studio Bridge application, verify that the sensor's status is connected.
