Diagnostics
In the Diagnostics panel, you can view when the last diagnostics test was performed. You can also
open the report of the last diagnostics test.
To start a diagnostics test:
1. Tap Launch. A dialog appears and prompts you to perform a diagnostics test.
2. Tap OK. If no scan has been performed initially, the instrument will perform an initialization. If a
scan has been previously performed, the diagnostics test starts.
3. Once complete, the instrument oscillates a few degrees on either side of its zero. When
prompted, tap OK. The Diagnostics report then appears.
4.
To close the report, either tap to return to the Maintenance dialog or tap to
return to the main menu.
The Diagnostics report is automatically saved on the USB flash drive in two file formats: TXT and
HTML. Each report follows a naming convention:
Autotest-YearMonthDay-HourMinuteSecond.
The date and time of the last diagnostics test, respectively in the "Day-Month-Year" and "Hour-
Minutes-Seconds" formats are displayed in the Diagnostics panel. This information is not stored in
the USB flash drive but in the instrument itself. When you format your USB flash drive, only the
report(s) are deleted, not the date and time information. To remove them, you need to reset your
personal settings (see page 91).
To open a report:
The series of three dots in the Diagnostics panel means that there is at least one report you can
open.
1. Tap on Diagnostics Last Performed. The Diagnostics report appears.
2.
Tap to close the report and return to the Maintenance dialog or tap to return to
the main menu.
