Reason

An error was identified in the Real Time Controller (RTC) firmware versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 used in Vantage Panoramic X-Ray systems. The error may cause the column of the Vantage Panoramic X-Ray unit to continue moving vertically despite the release of the movement control button (i.e. failure to stop").
