FAQ Topics

Frequently Asked Questions: Sensors

Q: Occasionally, the Sensor triggers by itself randomly; why is that happening?
A: Generally, this is caused by cables that have become damaged by abuse. It's also possible that the sensor cable isn't fully or properly plugged in to the USB docking station. Users should examine the connection to ensure that the cable is well connected to the port on the USB docking station.

Q: The Sensor doesn't trigger; I can't take X-Ray images; what's happening?
A: See the answer above. Remember: Sensor cables can become damaged over time, especially when subjected to extreme bending or stretching. In older style USB capture boxes that have now been discontinued (USB-1200) it is also possible that the USB Docking Station has a battery that has become drained or damaged . Please review the FAQS for USB Docking Station recommendations.

Q: When attempting to capture X-Ray images, I receive an error message stating "USB BOX CAN'T BE INITIALIZED". What's the issue?
A: This error message is often a function of poor communication between the USB bus and the USB docking station. In short, communications can't be established. Users should check to ensure that the driver is properly installed by reviewing the appropriate listing in the DEVICE MANAGER, where the USB docking station should be identified as SUNI IMAGING USB-1600 Intraoral X-Ray Imaging Device. Should the problem persist, users should disconnect the USB cable from the USB docking station, and re-connect it, after rebooting the system.

Q: I am receiving an error message stating: "Unable to write to USB Pipe"; what does that mean?
A: This error message is often a function of an improperly installed driver, or a battery that has become drained in the older models of the USB docking station housing. Users should check to ensure that the driver is installed. If the problem persists, please contact Suni Medical Imaging to obtain an Return Material Authorization for evaluation of the device.
