12 TROUBLESHOOTING
This section suggests solutions to potential issues that may be encountered when operating the MS260i
spectrograph. If the tips in this section do not restore the instrument to working condition, contact Newport
to arrange for technical support or repair. Contact information can be found in the Warranty and Service
section of this user’s manual.
12.1 CORRUPTED MEMORY
The spectrograph comes with calibration parameters, which are stored in a file on the memory stick
shipped with the instrument. If these parameters were corrupted from, possibly, performing an
incorrect field calibration, they will need to be reset. Other possible causes include electrostatic
discharge or other high field radiation near or in contact with the instrument.
The instrument parameters need to be reloaded from the calibration parameter sheet. Use the utility
program and select the first grating. Update the parameters for this grating. Then go to the second
grating and third grating (if equipped) to also update these parameters.
