Action: Report this error to Hologic Technical Support.
LOCUS: C-Arm An application attempted to control the laser positioning light when it was
under local control or an application attempted to turn on the laser while the
C-arm and table were within the laser safety distance of each other.
Action: Be sure the table and C-arm are properly positioned before starting a scan.
If the problem persists, report this error to Hologic Technical Support.
LOCUS: C-Arm An application attempted to issue another move command to the aperture
shuttle while it was still moving.
Action: The aperture may not be calibrated and an application attempted to move it
to a calibrated position. The aperture shuttle on the C-arm may be jammed
and the driver is still attempting to position it in response to a previous
MOVE_ABS command. Visually inspect the aperture shuttle and use the
MOVE_REL command to verify that the shuttle is moving. If it is not, fix
the mechanical or electrical problem with the aperture shuttle and then
recalibrate the aperture.
LOCUS: Motor_TZ The TZ system is in service mode; the pedestals are moving and an
application attempts to move them in the opposite direction; or the TZ
system is performing a calibration.
Action: Verify that the TZ board service mode switch is in the off position
Note:
If you change the service mode switch position on the TZ board, you must reset the TZ
microprocessor before the new switch position takes affect. Otherwise, report this error to
Hologic Technical Support.
LOCUS: STATE Whenever an application issues a device command and the state machine is
executing a state machine protocol.
Action: Report this error to Hologic Technical Support.
Device has not been configured [E_NOT_CONFIGURED_I]
Comment: Invalid motor calibration data has been sent to the driver (e.g., one or more
of the motor calibration parameters–number of steps, step distance, number
of ticks or tick distance–is less than or zero).
Action: Verify that the system has been properly calibrated and the normal Hologic
system startup procedure has been followed (i.e., reboot the machine and if
the problem persists, recalibrate the motor).
Device is in emulation mode [E_EMULATE_I]
Comment: The device is in emulation mode. This is not an error but a report of the
device driver internal state. Some QDR 4500 models normally run with
