What to do if THORLABS Controller detects abnormal stage move?
If the THORLABS Controller detects an abnormal stage move, first check for excessive load on the stage or any mechanical interference. If you find no issues, you can ignore the error. The error information will clear after you set a new target position or start a home operation.
How to fix excessive current detected on THORLABS ORIC PDXC2?
If the THORLABS Controller detects excessive current, make sure the environmental temperature is within the required range and that the device housing's ventilation is not blocked. Then, power cycle the PDXC2.
What to do if THORLABS Controller detects wrong stage?
If the THORLABS Controller detects the wrong stage, power down the device and check the connection status. Also, check for any problems with the stage itself.
