Status Panel

32

Interlock

Indicates the status of the Interlock circuit and whether emissions can be turned 

on or not. The indicator will be either:

• 

ON Red – the interlock circuit is open or shorted to ground – No emissions 

allowed

• 

ON Green – the interlock circuit is closed and reset – emissions allowed

To clear the ON Red indicator, close the interlock circuit and reset it. Any shorts 

to ground or circuit opens must be removed or the Interlock will remain ON red.

Status

Indicates the operational status of the laser. The indicator has the following 

states:

• 

ON Green – The VARIA is ready for operation.

• 

ON Red – The VARIA has experienced a fault and has shutdown. An error 

code is displayed underneath the Status indicator. Contact NKT Support if 

the fault cannot be cleared - see 

“Support Contact Details” on page 53

.

System Info

The System Info section shows the following:

• 

VARIA Serial number

• 

VARIA Firmware version

Output power

monitor

If an optional output power monitor is fitted to your VARIA, the gain setting and 

monitor signal levels can be shown in the Status panel. To show the setting and 

level, access the 

“View”

 menu and click the Output power monitor check box.

Emission button

The emission button turns the SuperK laser emission ON or OFF. The button 

indicator turns ON RED when laser emissions are generated. Otherwise, it will be 

OFF Grey. This button operates identically to the button available in the 

CONTROL status panel of the SuperK laser. Refer to the SuperK laser 

documentation for further information on managing emission.
