The <strong>LTQ</strong> <strong>Orbitrap</strong> <strong>XL</strong> is controlled by a PC running the Xcalibur<br />
software suite. The software controls all aspects of the instrument. The<br />
main software elements are the communication with the linear ion trap,<br />
the control of ion detection, and the control of the <strong>Orbitrap</strong> mass<br />
analyzer.<br />
The following pages contain a short overview of the various electronic<br />
boards of the <strong>LTQ</strong> <strong>Orbitrap</strong> <strong>XL</strong>. For each board, its respective location<br />
and function are given. If applicable, the diagnostic LEDs on the board<br />
are described.<br />
The electronics of the <strong>LTQ</strong> <strong>Orbitrap</strong> <strong>XL</strong> contains complicated and<br />
numerous circuits. Therefore, only qualified and skilled electronics<br />
engineers should perform servicing.<br />
A Thermo Fisher Scientific Service Engineer should be called if servicing<br />
is required. It is further recommended to use Thermo Fisher Scientific<br />
spare parts only. When replacing fuses, only use the correct type. Before<br />
calling a Service Engineer, please try to localize the defect via errors<br />
indicated in the software or diagnostics. A precise description of the<br />
defect will ease the repair and reduce the costs.<br />
Warning Parts of the printed circuit boards are at high voltage.<br />
Opening the electronics cabinet is only allowed for maintenance<br />
purposes by qualified personal. ▲<br />
Note Many of the electronic components can be tested by the<br />
<strong>LTQ</strong> <strong>Orbitrap</strong> <strong>XL</strong> diagnostics, which is accessible from the Tune Plus<br />
window. ▲<br />
