Troubleshooting

This section is a reference guide if you are having any problems with your instrument.

Troubleshooting outlines what to do if your instrument or software malfunctions or crashes.

Hardware

Problem:

During the installation procedure the USB devices are not

recognized.

Description This may mean that there is not enough power on the USB sockets on your

PC.

Solution

Ensure that your PC has USB 2.0 sockets. If you are not sure, use a USB 2.0

power hub.

Problem:

The software installation stops during the Philips VCheck step.

Description In the VCheck dialog that is displayed while the software performs a number

of checks on your system, the Progress bar halts before the checks have

been completed.

Solution

Click Cancel and then repeat the installation using the procedure described

Installing Spectrum Software

on page 46 to install the alignment camera

software.

Problem:

You are prompted for the camera drivers more than once.

Description This may happen if you disconnect the instrument control USB cable and

reattach it to a different USB port, or if you switch the instrument off and

then switch it on again.
