CUSTOMER SUPPORT 

Excillum strives at offering first-class customer support. 

We’ll provide our customers with fast 

and reliable 

advice on the most cost-effective and quickest solution. Most replacement parts can be shipped immediately. 

To ensure a fast and smooth servicing process, contact Excillum according to instructions on page ii with the 
following information: 

 

Company name, contact person, contact information (e-mail, phone, and street address). 

 

Model number, article number, serial number, and manufacturing year of the sub-assembly unit in 
need of service. 

 

Purchase order number 

 

Description of the problem (more details may lead to correct decisions faster)

System log files 

The x-ray control software continuously logs valuable information. This information is sometimes requested by 
Excillum during support cases. It can easily be downloaded using any SFTP client that connects remotely to the 
machine. Refer to Section 4.6.2 for network connectivity arrangements. 

The folder /home/jxs/ contains files and folders that may be requested during support cases. Table 9-1 list the 
most important files and folders including a description of the contents.

If a problem has occurred the same day it is often sufficient to send events.log and monitors.log as well as the 
reports from that day. Problems that has occurred in the past can often be diagnosed by sending the relevant 
files from the day the problem occurred.
