1.5 Manuals Overview
1.5.1 User Manual P/N 610766

and to solve the more straightforward problems the user may encounter when
operating the instrument.

STAR User Manual describes the software used to operate the
Instrument. In the User Manual will also be found instructions on how to create and
run methods.

1.5.4 Service Manual P/N 610754
The basic reference for the Service Technician is the present volume, the Microlab
STAR Service Manual.
1.5.5 Firmware Reference Guides
The Firmware Reference Guide lists all the commands that can be sent to the
firmware of the instrument and lists all the status messages that the firmware
returns for a particular module. Firmware commands are used when sending a
single instruction to the instrument rather than the series of instructions which
constitutes a method. The knowledge of firmware commands is therefore very
useful for the Service Technician when testing particular aspects of an instrument‘s
performance.
Note: This documentation is not included as an appendix to the present volume. It
will be distributed during ML STAR Service Training Courses. Service Technicians
trained and / or authorized by HAMILTON Bonaduz AG may request it from
Technical Support at Hamilton Bonaduz.
Copies of Firmware reference guides may be filed in Section 12.4.3 Firmware
Reference Guides on page 12-19 ff.
1.5.6 Verification Reference Guide
This guide accompanies the Verification Kit, which provides the means to verify
instrument function against specific acceptance criteria.
