If you are and you sere counts that are changing normally, it is most likely a sample introduction problem. If the argon counts a not changing...look at your lens wired and your capacitor.

We did not do any cleaning etc prior to this issue.. and we rechecked the wires to make sure eberything was intact. I am thinking about rechecking for loose wires just to make sure.
When we ran pulse and analog stage optimization, we are getting seeing counts in the realtime window. However, when we run a standard/dual detector solution, we are still not seeing any counts.
We also checked to make sure that there is flow through sample...]]> Mon, 10 Oct 2011 06:48:43 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t16293-elan+9000+icpms+communication+error.html ]]> Fri, 07 Oct 2011 12:08:17 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t16293-elan+9000+icpms+communication+error.html Did you do anything at all to the instrument just prior to this issue occuring (I.e. clean lens, clean cones, etc)? One common thing that causes you to have no counts is a failure to reconnect the lens power supply after cleaning or replacing your lens. So if you did any work where you disconnected the lens, then I would go back and check that you did snap the wires back together. I would also check and make sure that the wires are not coming loose from the...]]> Thu, 06 Oct 2011 21:07:33 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t16293-elan+9000+icpms+communication+error.html if so then yes
there are no errors shown in any of the parameters when we enter service mode.]]> Thu, 06 Oct 2011 07:09:50 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t16293-elan+9000+icpms+communication+error.html ]]> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:44:54 GMT http://www.scientistsolutions.com/t16293-elan+9000+icpms+communication+error.html Of recent, I am only obtaining zeros for all my signals. A few days before, I was able to light the plasma, and run smart tune daily with passing, with no trouble whatsoever.
A couple days after, (after changing the argon tanks) I proceeded to do the same and the plasma lit with ease however in running smart tune daily, i noticed no values (all zeros) in the realtime window and of course, it failed.

I cleaned these parts with a clean cloth and then with Ar gas. After that, I checked the proper contact of the sensors' connectors (behind the torch box). Although the ELAN did not start properly at first, I reset the entire system (along with the PC) and it started normally. So far, there is no problem...

After a week with no use, I tried to start the ELAN, and I notted a Strange error alert that said: RF Generator communication failure >> RF generator OK, and it was repeated every minute. I re-started de PC and the Isntrument, and the problem goes out. Three days later, the problem appeared again, and remains untill now.

We only use it twice a week (Tuesday + Thursday) and had no issues the last time I used it. Today when I tried and turn on the plasma, the roughing pump makes a loud grinding sound and immediately the system switch gets shut off, resulting in a communications failure.
I've rebooted the PC and the instrument. - No difference
Checked the oil - Oil looks fine. Was changed a month and a half ago on both vacuum pumps.
