The diagnostics tab contains the following:
• ENGRAVER shows the current Firmware and FPGA version being loaded in the laser system. It also
displays the Serial Number of your laser system. The Serial Number is needed when calling the
Customer Service Team at ULS.
• SOFTWARE displays the current Materials Database, Language Database and Printer driver versions
being used.
• An UPDATE button in the software section checks the ULS website for the latest available version of
the software and allows for updating the latest version if desired (computer must have internet
access).
• PERIPHERAL DEVICES displays the current firmware version for various devices installed in the laser
system as well as status information about those devices.
• LASER displays information about the current laser cartridge(s) installed in the laser system. If a red
‘x’ appears, this indicates that the laser cartridge is either not functioning properly or is disabled
because one of the safety interlocked doors to the laser system is open (causing the interlock
system to disable the laser).
• The Test button, under USB LATENCY, displays information about the speed of the USB connection.
Typical USB 2.0 performance should be below 10 msec and worst-case USB 2.0 performance should
be below 100 msec.
• SYSTEM displays information about your personal computer.
• ALARMS shows the status of the over-temperate circuit in the material processing area and
indicates if the Thermal Sensor circuit battery is low in power. If the Thermal Sensor inside the laser
system is triggered, an alarm will sound, and the laser will be shut down.
• FIXTURES indicates if a cutting table is installed on the engraving table and properly detected.
• INTERLOCKS displays the status of the Top, Front or Rear Doors of the laser system.
• COMPRESSOR shows the status of the ULS Compressed Air Source which supplies compressed air for
the gas assist feature.
• The RUNTIME DIAGNOSTICS box is for use when troubleshooting.
• The PRINT button gathers the information displayed on the Diagnostics Tab into a PDF file. This PDF
file can be emailed to the Customer Service Team at ULS for aid in troubleshooting.
Control Panel
The control panel on your laser system provides the functions necessary to set up and run jobs on your laser
system.
Safety Interlock Status
A Red LED on the control panel provides an indication of the status of the interlock system.
The top door to the laser system is closed. If a laser job is initiated in this
state, the CO
2
laser will fire.
The top door to the laser system is open and the safety interlock system has
disabled the CO
2
laser. If a laser job is initiated in this state, the CO
2
laser will
not fire and the red target pointer will be on instead.
A Green LED indicates whether the machine is powered on or not.
