Creating instrument
You can obtain information on the status of the instrument by running
instrument status reports. These reports are useful in problem situations
reports
where the instrument does not seem to function properly, and they are used
by the service personnel. You can run a status report if requested by your
Thermo Fisher Scientific representative for diagnosing the problem.
There are four types of instrument status reports: General, Start-up
initialization, Error log and Service reports. Service reports include
Measurement parameters, Measurement parameters graphs, Actual motor
positions, steps from home sensors, and Mechanical and electronical
parameters. The service reports are mainly used for diagnosing the
performance of the instrument.
Note The processing of the Measurement Parameters Graphs service
report may take up to fifteen minutes. The LED indicator on the
instrument is orange while the reports are being processed.
The Start-up Initialization Status Report shows the results of the instruments
initialization tests. The instrument performs these self-tests each time the
instrument is turned on. The report shows whether each test has passed or
failed. The Start-up Initialization Status Report is needed for the instrument
IQ/OQ/PQ.
