If an error is witnessed during the initialization phase, see section 7 “Troubleshooting

To start the system if the hardware has already been powered up, such as from a
computer restart, simply start the software.
Loading a Sample
This system includes a basic manually operated sample stage. The best way to get
reproducible measurements is to make a custom sample holder that holds the
sample and fastens to the stage in a repeatable way. Hinds Instruments can also
supply custom sample holders as an option.
Use the following steps to load a sample:
1. Place the sample on the stage. Do not hold the sample to the stage in a way
that might put stress on the sample.
2. Using the manual adjusters, move the sample to the desired location on the
screen. The adjustment knob controls both the X and Y-axis adjustments. The
X-axis is controlled by the bottom part of the knob. The Y-axis is controlled by
the top part of the knob. See Figure 7.
