Power Switches
SONICC Benchtop has two power switches located on the right side of
the chassis, one for the laser and one for the imaging optics. The power
switches should be left on at all times, unless you want to power off the
imager during periods of inactivity. When you power off the imager, you
must first exit the software and then push each power switch to the
OFF position.
Main Door
The main door is latched securely with a hex key, and should not be
opened at any time.
Load Port Door
Plates can be safely added to SONICC while the main door is closed
and latched by commanding the plate arm to extend out of the door, so
that you can put a plate on the hand.
