The instrument health monitoring parameters are categorized and will be updated as long as the instrument is connected. The Health Monitoring Tab is part of the Instrument Tab and lists all available health monitoring parameters. These parameters show the current health condition of the instrument:

If any of the health monitoring parameters are not in the expected range, the overall condition is changed accordingly. It is indicated by the background color of the tab flag. In case of any error it will turn red to indicate the problem:

The following status conditions are displayed for each parameter and the overall status:

  • OK

    Within predefined range. The spectrometer operates normally.

  • Warning

    Value close to its limit. The spectrometer operates normally but maintenance might be required.

  • Error

    Value out of range. The spectrometer or one of its components is not working properly.

Health Status Overview​

Accessories​

  • Temperature
    Accessory temperature within predefined range.

Co-Addition​

  • NB Rejected scans forward
    A scan may be rejected if an anomaly in the data or an important perturbation is detected.

  • NB Rejected scans Reverse
    A scan may be rejected if an anomaly in the data or an important perturbation is detected.

Detector​

  • Electronic Saturation
    Too much signal on the detector

  • Temperature
    Detector temperature, TEC only.

Electronic​

  • BMXS Board Temperature
    Main electronic board temperature.

  • EBOX Temperature
    Electronics compartment temperature (located at the back of the spectrometer).

Interferometer​

  • Temperature
    Interferometer temperature

IR Source​

  • Current
    Current driven in the IR source

  • Electronic Temperature
    IR source control board temperature.

  • Hour of use nominal
    Indicates if the IR source has reached its expected life time.

  • Voltage
    Voltage powering the IR source.

Metrology​

  • Amplitude of D signal
    Laser signal used in direction determination.

  • Amplitude of F signal
    Laser signal used for speed and sampling control.

  • Laser Phase
    Phase shift between F and D laser signals.

  • VCSEL Board Temperature
    Laser control board temperature.

  • VCSEL Calib LED voltage
    Voltage powering the LED used for YPD determination

  • VCSEL Diode temperature
    Laser diode temperature
     

  • VCSEL Ref voltage
    Voltage powering the laser diode

  • VCSEL Spectral drift C.T.
    Calibration of the laser diode is automatically done on regular basis. This status is checked if the prescribed maximum time between calibrations is overdue.

  • VCSEL Voltage
    Laser diode temperature
