The Transport Lock option is implemented in Scanner Shell as a wizard. It
represents workflow modules, which define a sequential procedure and guide the
user step-by-step to perform a specific complex activity.
For transportation purposes it is recommended to lock the connected instrument.
A transportation shock absorber pad is inserted between the plate transport and
the optic chassis to avoid damage to the optical parts.
For further information refer to the chapter 6.4.9 The Transport Lock Wizard
description in this manual.
During the Transport Lock procedure:
1. The instrument door is opened.
2. The plate transport is moved into the correct position.
3. The user is asked to insert the transportation shock absorber pad.
4. Instrument is locked.
5. The instrument door is closed.
As long as the instrument is locked, the LSServer Measurement Control cannot
be started. Thus scanning is not possible.
