InFocus Laser Platform M-300 - Manual (Page 44)

System Operation 3-19
DIAGNOSTICS Menu
This menu leads to other menus that enable you to help diagnose problems, if they occur, with
the laser system. It also will help our technicians solve problems that you may be experiencing.
ALIGNMENT MODE Menu
This menu allows access to firing the laser beam manually to determine if the laser systems
optical alignment is correct. The factory setting is a very low power setting that is just strong
enough to check the laser beam alignment. Please refer to the maintenance section on how to
safely check the laser systems beam alignment.
MEMORY TEST Menu
It may be necessary to use the diagnostic tests if instructed to do so by a member of our
technical support staff. The “MEMORY TEST” is a memory buffer test to test the RAM in the
laser system. This is very similar to the RAM test that your computer performs when it first gets
powered on. In the process of testing memory, all files in memory will be erased. Once the
“MEMORY TEST” is started it will continue to run until it is canceled. To start the test select
“YES (CLEARS MEMORY)”. To end the test, select “CANCEL”. This test will continuously pass
through the memory. If you are going to run this test, start it and let it run for about 10 minutes. If
it finds memory that is bad, it will show up as a number other than a “0” in the fails column and
the SIMM module will need to be replaced. Please contact technical support if there is a problem
with the memory.
MOTOR STATUS Display
The last two lines of this display show the conditions of the stepper motors in the motion system.
If there is a problem there will be an error message displayed next to the troubled motor. If the
motor is completely disconnected, “NO MOTOR” will show in the display.
