mailing the generated self-test file.

port (does not apply to the remote interlock
control, which is computer activated separately). Manual control of the Light Source remains disabled

Any changes to the
“SETTINGS”
area are possible only when the optical output is switched off. Changes are
applied immediately once correspondent boxes are ticked in the
“SETTINGS”

To save changes introduced to the
“SETTINGS”
area, the
“Save”

must be clicked. In this case the introduced changes are stored even after device power re-setting.
Otherwise, the changes introduced are in place only during the current work session.
