Warming Up
The Warming Up message is shown for 5 minutes after you turn on the system or
click the Initialize Scanner button.
Note: Complete warm-up takes 30 minutes when the instrument is turned on.
Ready
The instrument is ready to scan.
Note: If you just turned on the instrument, the Ready message appears after
approximately 5 minutes. However, for best performance, the instrument
should be warm up for the full 30 minutes before scanning.
Sleep
The lasers have been shut off and the Sleep state message appears. This happens
when the instrument has not been used for the preset time (default setting is 4
hours, change time by using the Typhoon Direct Instrument Access software).
Initialization
After you click the Scan button, the Initialization state message appears. It
remains displayed until the instrument begins scanning.
Initialization state takes approximately 1 minute if the prior instrument state was
Ready, and approximately 5 minutes if the prior instrument state was Sleep or
Warming Up.
