Section 7 - Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
This section contains information for basic system diagnostics and troubleshooting advice. Diagnostics
or repairs outside of the scope of this section should be completed by an authorized service
representative.
7.1 Expected System Performance
Each system ships with a unique Certificate of Performance to demonstrate the factory performance of
that particular platform. The base temperature, stability, and vibrations tests are typically conducted on
the standard platform with the cryostat mounted to the optical table (without any options installed).
The vibrations are measured in this configuration with a capacitive sensor that is also bolted to the
table. The capacitive sensor measures the peak-to-peak vibrations in nanometers to a test fixture bolted
to the sample platform.
If custom options are integrated into the base system, then the base temperature of the sample will
also be recorded. Any other requested measurements can be found in the custom option tests section
of the Certificate of Performance.
The system should achieve the base temperatures and stability listed on the Certificate of Performance
on the first cooldown. Please contact an authorized service representative if the specifications are not
met.
