Note
d)
We strongly recommend always leaving the chamber evacuated
when it is not being used. When the sample chamber is left in the
LoVac mode, water vapor is likely to accumulate in it, PVP lifetime
decreases, and the water reservoir or gas cylinder empties prematurely.
e)
Waiting for a new user leaves the status of the Microscope Control
software non-operational and only the xT microscope Server software
is running. Therefore changing users does not require Logging off /
Logging on at the Windows 7™ level.
