English term or phrase: seasoning (see context)
I am in trouble with this term. We are talking about x-ray generators. Thanks.

Before initial operation or after a time of 10 weeks and more of no usage, the X-Ray Generator must go through a seasoning process as shown in the seasoning table below.


Warning: Take care for radiation protection during seasoning !
Keep distance!

Condizionamento (preparazione/assestamento)
Explanation:
to season: to mature, ripen, or condition by exposure to suitable conditions or treatment (Random House dictionary)
È l'unico significato di "season" (l'unico riportato dal mio dizionario preferito!!!) che sembra adattarsi al tuo caso.
Ammetto che da dizionario italiano (Devoto Oli) "condizionamento" non è riportato in questa accezione, ma d'altro canto anche l'uso di "seasoning" mi sembra piuttosto forzato.
In alternativa potresti usare "preparazione" "assestamento" o qualcosa di simile.

fase di riscaldamento (del tubo dei raggi X)


Explanation:
5.3.4 Procedures and Measurements
5.3.4.1 Warming up of the X-ray tube
N.B. Before starting measurements the X-ray tube has to be warmed up
(seasoning of the tube). For this, a minimum of three warming exposures
have to be performed:
1. about 50 kV, about 50 mA and about 100 msec
2. about 50 kV, about 100 mA and about 200 msec
3. about 70 kV, about 100 mA and about 200 msec.
The minimum interval between the exposures has to be more than 1 minute.
