What to do if Leica EM ACE600 displays 'Process terminated, Sputter current could not be stabilized'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment process is terminated because the sputter current could not be stabilized due to unstable plasma current, the reason might be unclean target. Clean it with isopropanol and try again.
What to do if the Leica EM ACE600 process terminated, no power detected?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment process is terminated and no power is detected, it's because the carbon thread supply is not powered. Check the door and cover sensors.
What to do if Leica Laboratory Equipment shows 'Door open'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Door open', it means the process or pumping has been aborted. You should check the door sensor and close the door.
Why Leica EM ACE600 displays 'No thread available'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'No thread available' because no threads are detected, abort the process only after resistance calculation.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 Laboratory Equipment displays 'Process terminated, Quartz unstable'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment process is terminated because the quartz is unstable, change the quartz and try to run the process again. Measuring of frequency before process has to be stable to guarantee valid measurement.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 displays 'head (1) not connected'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'head (1) not connected' and the process is aborted because the specific head is not connected, connect the cable.
What to do if Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Lift motor error detected'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Lift motor error detected' because the initialization of the lift motor failed, try re-initialization and learning.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 displays 'Shutter motor error detected'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'Shutter motor error detected' because the initialization of the shutter motor failed, try re-initialization and learning.
What to do if Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'head (2) not connected'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'head (2) not connected' and the process is aborted because the specific head is not connected, connect the cable.
What to do if Leica EM ACE600 displays 'No gauge detected'?
If the Leica Laboratory Equipment displays 'No gauge detected' at start-up of software, restart the device.
