Description
CALIBRATING
Indicates that the leak detector is currently performing a calibration routine. The leak
detector reverts to HOLD mode while calibrating to the internal leak standard.
FINE TEST
Indicates that the leak detector is in FINE TEST mode. When in FINE TEST mode
the test port valve opens and the leak detector is ready for fine leak testing.
GROSS TEST
Indicates that the leak detector is in GROSS TEST mode. When in GROSS TEST
mode the test port valve closes and the GROSS LEAK valve and ROUGHING
valves are open. While testing in this mode, the majority of the gas introduced into
the test port is swept away through the roughing pump, and a small sample is
introduced to the system through the GROSS LEAK needle valve. Gross leak
testing capability is only provided on dual pump configurations.
HOLD
Indicates that the leak detector is in HOLD mode. When in HOLD mode the test port
valve and the roughing valve are closed, isolating the test port and any test objects
or fixturing from the leak detector vacuum system.
ROUGHING
Indicates that the leak detector is currently ROUGHING the test port and any
attached test objects or fixturing attached to the test port.
STD LEAK
Indicates that the optional internal calibrated leak standard valve opens and the leak
detector is reading the leak value. The leak detector reverts to HOLD mode while
reading the internal leak standard.
VENTED
Indicates that the test port is vented to atmosphere. The test port and all objects
attached to the test port are isolated from the internal vacuum system of the 979.

Description
[BLANK]
This line is blank under normal operating conditions.
BACKING
Indicates that the leak detector is momentarily backing the foreline of
the high vacuum pump during an extended rough period. This
condition will only be present on single pump configurations.
BOTH FILAMENTS BURNT OUT
Indicates that both filament 1 and filament 2 of the ion source have
burnt out.
CAL OK
Indicates that the calibration routine was executed successfully.
CALIBRATION PREP
Indicates that the leak detector is preparing for a calibration routine.
FILAMENT 1 BURNT OUT
Indicates that filament 1 of the ion source has burnt out. Filament 2 will
automatically light, if it is still good, and the leak detector will display a
flashing C in the leak rate exponent indicating that a calibration routine
is required.
