Error Message:

IMAGE: wpower series has been stopped, laser power not increasing

Applies to:

• Thermal

Service Information:

Usually the head will return some internal fault or other error when the requested power is too high, this error serves as a backup to the times when it doesn't.

Normally the head doesn't exactly match the requested laser power, but acheives the requested power to within a certain tolerance. So for a wpower series, the firmware assumes the laser head could not acheive the desired power when the power level stops increasing according to the series increment value.

Operator Action:

Indicates the laser power series plot has automatically ended because the head could not output the requested laser power of the next series step.

You may need to restart the series plot with a lower initial laser power or a lower step increment value. If they were already within range and the test plot images enough series steps before generating the error, then there's nothing to do other than evaluate the results of the wpower series and hope that the ideal laser power setting is within the range the head can achieve.

Cause:

• The wpower series incremented beyond what the laser could output. The number of steps, the series width, the initial series value, or the increment value were too high.
