Using the LI-6400
20
The LI-6400 is sufficiently complicated that sooner or later, you will encoun-
ter some inexplicable and troubling behavior, whose cause can range from
something youÕve done wrong or misunderstood, to a component failure that
requires factory attention. This chapter is designed to help you sort out causes
and cures when things go awry.
Power On / Start-up Problems
Usually, when you turn on the LI-6400, there is about a two minute wait be-
fore OPEN is ready to use. If there are multiple configurations, youÕll be
asked to pick one, but other than that, no user intervention is required. This
section describes some of the
unusual
things that might happen during these
two minutes.
Console DoesnÕt Power On
¥
Disconnect all cables (except power) from the console
It could be a problem in the chamber or IRGA thatÕs pulling the voltage low
enough to shut off the console. Note that the analyzer board and flow control
board are not turned on until you press
Y
in response to the ÒIs the cham-
ber/IRGA connected?Ó prompt.
¥
Does the display flicker, or show any lines momentarily?
If no: It could be a totally dead battery, or blown battery fuse. Check the dig-
ital board fuse (Figure 19-8 on page 19-11).
If yes: It could be a very discharged battery. Try another one.
¥
Power on with escape pressed
on page 5-18), then the problem
could be a corrupted file (
/dev/parm1
). One of the things in this file is the dis-
play contrast information. If itÕs missing, the boot screen program picks a rea-
sonable value, whereas the LPL application doesnÕt. Adjust the display
contrast (if necessary) by pressing
-
or
¯
, then press
S
to store this informa-
tion (and fix
/dev/parm1
). Then press
R
to run. (If this in fact fixes the problem,
then once OPEN is running, pay close attention to the IRGA and flow meter
