Universal Laser Systems X2-600 - Manual (Page 44)

System Operation 3-19
DIAGNOSTICS Menu
This menu leads to other menus that enable you to help diagnose problems, if they occur, with the laser
system. It also will help our technicians solve problems that you may be experiencing.
ALIGNMENT MODE Menu
This menu allows access to firing the laser beam manually to determine if the laser systems optical
alignment is correct. The factory setting is a very low power setting that is just strong enough to check
the laser beam alignment. Please refer to the maintenance section on how to safely check the laser
systems beam alignment.
MEMORY TEST Menu
It may be necessary to use the diagnostic tests if instructed to do so by a member of our technical
support staff. The “MEMORY TEST” is a memory buffer test to test the RAM in the laser system. This is
very similar to the RAM test that your computer performs when it first gets powered on. In the process of
testing memory, all files in memory will be erased. Once the “MEMORY TEST” is started it will continue
to run until it is canceled. To start the test select “YES (CLEARS MEMORY)”. To end the test, select
“CANCEL”. This test will continuously pass through the memory. If you are going to run this test, start it
and let it run for about 10 minutes. If it finds memory that is bad, it will show up as a number other than a
“0” in the fails column and the SIMM module will need to be replaced. Please contact technical support if
there is a problem with the memory.
MOTOR STATUS Display
The last two lines of this display show the conditions of the stepper motors in the motion system. If there
is a problem there will be an error message displayed next to the troubled motor. If the motor is
completely disconnected, “NO MOTOR” will show in the display.
