General notes
Please ask LMF for training. See section 3.3 of OMX manual at the system
- The manual explains the full power on and off procedures, but might be out of date.
- On this Wiki page is written the normal user power on/off procedures
- Normal users do not fully power off and on the system
- Certain components are usually left on for stability reasons: galvos, liquid coolers, camera and OMXIC computers etc.
Normal User System Turn ON
- Open the doors of the laser unit to see what is already on.
- Make sure all computers are on and booted up, and logged in.
- 4x camera computers plus the OMXIC computer in the laser unit
- Both the OMX master and the Linux reconstruction workstation computers.
- Power ON the OMX hardware control and laser systems in the laser unit:
- Nanomotion Chassis - right side
- OMX Instrument Controller Chassis - right side
- make sure the despeckle unit has power (green light next to the switch number 1 - it should make a noise and vibrate the laser unit)
- Peizo z controller (bottom left of the unit - small power switch on front of controller - bottom right)
- Power on the 2 laser control modules on the bottom left
- Main power of both boxes, then also turn on each laser power under the label for each laser line.
- Turn the interlock key to position 1 - so lader light is allowed out of the system
- The light on the laser unit door and the OMX enclosure should be green (means powered on but not active yet.)
- Make sure you are logged into the OMX master windows computer (the left one)
- Start the OMX software
- restart the OMX hardware
- menu item: Hardware - Hardware
- Click the restart hardware" button - wait for a couple of min.
- when its done there should be no red text at the hardware and camera status displays.
- and the camera icon should not be greyes out - and you should be able to snap and image from one or all the cameras.
Normal user System Turn OFF
- Close the OMX software and shut down the OMX master windows and the SI reconstruction Linux computers
- Turn off lasers
- Turn the laser interlock key to 0
- Switch of the individual power to each of the lasers
- Switch off the 2 power buttons of the laser units.
- Switch off the OMX hardware chassis
- Turn off the Nanomotion chassis
- and also turn off the OMX Instrument Controller chassis.
- Power off the z peizo controller.
In the laser unit - You can leave the 4 camera computers on, and the OMXIC computer on. You can leave on the 4 galvo controller boxes (which you shouldn't have needed to turn on as a normal user) The GB ethernet switch is left powered in and the green lights on it will stay on. Leave the 2 Koolance liquid coolers on
Trouble shooting
Are the 4 galvo controllers powered on? No SI illumination after startup? Just run a dumm SI experiment, then all will be well - this is a known bug.
Full System Power ON
Full System Power OFF
Recent changes
New as of Blaze upgrade:
- 2x 2 galvo control boxes. 2 on OMX enclosure, 2 on laser cabinet.
