6. In the Array area, click Execute.
A message box appears (see
Figure 65. Calibration preconditions dialog box
7. If the preconditions have been met, click OK.
The status of the calibration procedure appears by the Status readback area on the
Calibration page. During the dark current calibration, ChromQuest turns the lamps off
before collecting the intensity scans. After ChromQuest completes the last event, it turns
the lamps back on.
8. Click OK to finish the calibration.
The date and time of the calibration appear in the Array area of the Calibration page and
are stored in the detector's memory.
Detector errors and major detector events, such as power-on self-tests (POSTs), are logged to
a dedicated area in the memory of the detector. The log can hold 100 errors/events. When the
log is full, the next entry replaces the first entry. Therefore, Thermo Fisher Scientific
recommends that you print out the log and clear it periodically to keep a continuous record
for your maintenance files. The memory is protected by battery backup when the detector is
turned Off. View, print and clear the log weekly as part of your regular maintenance routine.
A list of error messages that can be displayed in the event log along with suggested solutions is
compiled in "Log Entries"
Use the Error Log page in ChromQuest, shown in
the event log for the detector. The event log collects messages regarding major events and
errors occurring in the detector. These messages are created as part of the normal operation of
the detector and can be helpful when attempting to troubleshoot communications problems.
