Fault

 

Handling

 

When the instrument detects a problem, it generates a fault. Some faults require the instrument to abort operations. Other faults 
will allow the instrument to continue operation. 

 

The computer clears all fault codes at the beginning of each new procedure. 
However, if you start a new procedure without correcting the cause of a fault, it 
will continue to re-appear. 

 

The screen below shows the primary sections of the instrument fault screen. 

The fault screen includes sections that present information that cannot be changed by the user, along with buttons that allow the 
user to modify the current operations or get additional information. The back button is available for returning to the Status 
Screen or the Diagnostics screen depending on the function you were doing when you entered the fault screen. 

For explanation purposes, we have placed a number in each section of the screen. Your computer screen will NOT show these 
numbers.
