Note: The movement of the X-ray tube stand has a small delay
compared to the movement of the table. The movement of the X-

ray tube head and the table would become too small (SID lower
than 45 cm).
Position tracking is not active for the next exposure. It can
be activated again by pressing the position tracking but-
