Troubleshooting

Trouble with Mounting and Installation

• The Vector Cannot be Mounted to the Test Frame
• The Test Frame Cannot Position Vector Within the Operating Distance Region
• The Vector Analogue Output Cannot be Connected to the Test Frame
• The Vector Digital Output Cannot be Connected to the Tinius Olsen Test Frame
• The Vector Digital Output Cannot be Connected to the Doli Controller
• The Interface Cannot Connect to Vector

Trouble with Starting Measurements

• The Vector Does Not Detect Any Specimen Markings
• The Vector Does Not Start Measuring the Specimen
• The Vector Stopped Measuring Unexpectedly
• The Vector Output Cannot be Zeroed
• The Vector Output Cannot be Rescaled
• The Vector Gauge Length is Wrong and Keeps Changing
• The Vector B80 Does Not Start Measuring the Transverse
• The Vector B80 Stopped Measuring Transverse Unexpectedly

Trouble with Measurement Quality

• The Modulus Value was Different than Expected
• The Modulus Curve was Not Linear or Smooth
• The Signal from Vector is Noisy
• The Modulus Curve was Very Noisy
• The Measurement Signal Stops Rising During a Test
• The Vector B80 Transverse Output is Inverted

Scanning Warning Indicators

• No Markings Detected
• Lasers Not Aligned
• Vector Outside of Operating Distance
• Markings Changed
• Markings Indistinct
• Lighting Changed
• Specimen Moved
• Obstruction
• Gauge Length Outside Specification
• Speckle Region Dimensions Insufficient
• Vector not Vertical to Specimen

Historical Measurement Warnings

• Measurement Ended as the Markings were Lost
• Measurement Ended as Markings Moved Beyond Laser Guides
• Measurement Ended Outside of Operating Distance Range
• Orientation Changed During the Test
• Measurement Ended as the Specimen Moved
• Measurement Ended as Markings Changed in Appearance
• Measurement Ended as the Lighting Changed
