CO2 DiagnosticsΒΆ
This section describes some questions to ask when debugging the Fusions CO2 Laser System
Start with a clear definition of the Problem
- Is Pychron running? Is the CO2 plugin enabled?
- Are there any warnings on startup?
- When starting does the laser home its beam motor? If so, the progress window will display Homing Beam for a few seconds
- Open the laser manager. Is there a view of the sample chamber? Is the
use_video
preference enabled?- Can you enable the laser? Red lights turn on Fusion control boxes are illuminated.
- Do the red lights stay on for only 7 seconds?
- Are the emergency STOP buttons depressed?
- Is the manual beam blocked in place? Check the knob on the back of the CO2 laser.
