Certification Procedure
- [CERTIFIER] Create FTP server directory and chown it to ftp
- Power switch operation
- Usage
- Looking for off / no vacuum after power outage
- No light = burnt out bulb or no power
- Give CMOS password
- [CERTIFIER] Create user dir, icons
- Start LEO UIF, select user directory
- Turn on Datazone
- Vacuum check, in the E-5 range
- Toolbar, switching toolbars, mouse sensitivity, beam and vacuum pulldown, vacuum dialog box
- Instruct user to restart vacuum if they are at the space and the vacuum is off.
- Chamber door: X to 50.00, Tilt to 0
- Stoplight to turn on the beam
- Brightness / Contrast
- 5 Axes
- Z axis – back off to 31.0 (assuming no tall samples)
- Rotate – no stops, freely rotates
- Rotate to see all samples
- Have the user pick a metal sample
- Set beam energy
- Using dialog box, check units
- Explain magnification change
- Focus
- Explain WD
- Anti-hysteresis
- Scan speed
- Finding first peak, maybe second peak if available
- Changing aperture
- Dialog box
- Changing (explain direction of Y)
- Maximum brightness, lower brightness if necessary
