+ | * Switch the laser from "stand by" to "on" by turning the key clockwise (unit under the table) | ||
+ | * Make sure the workstation is ON | ||
+ | * Turn on the pre-amps for the detectors you will use (Ch2 and Ch3 pre-amp unit in shelf above monitor, and Ch1 and Ch4 below the keyboard. Note that any switching of the Ch1&2 pre-amps should be preceded by "override" for protetion). | ||
