If the Apex collimator is incorrectly installed on the radiation head, a touchguard inhibit activates the view restrictions dialog box only shows the top 12 restrictions.

When quickly switching the protocols from AEC to Fixed under the same view, if the user selection process time is less than 0.5 seconds, the User Interface (UI) may display different exposure techniques than selected, and may not display AEC setting.
