| After #4/installation, note pressure to at least 10^-4 Torr (should get to 10^-6) depending on last use (15 - 30 mins to 10^-4 Torr and a day or so to 10^-6, depending on previous usage and cleanliness). This is noted under #9/installation, but should be repeated in #4/installation | After #4/installation, note pressure to at least 10^-4 Torr (should get to 10^-6) depending on last use (15 - 30 mins to 10^-4 Torr and a day or so to 10^-6, depending on previous usage and cleanliness).

| The **ammeter** maxes out at 2mA. If you want an excitation current over 2mA, then you have to short it (back of the rack, move the BNC cable from "2mA max" to "Shorted." The software will prompt you when you go over 2mA, but it will not prompt you when the excitation current is below 2mA, so if you're not able to measure a current, check that the last user didn't leave the ammeter shorted. | The **ammeter** maxes out at 2mA.

| Sometimes the HMS software has trouble communicating with the equipment. If this happens, you can try just restarting the program, but this usually doesn't work. The most successful approach is: do Ctrl-Alt-Delete and bring up the Task Manager, then kill all the HMS* processes. Failing that, restart everything. | |

| Problem: Doing well with hardware and measurement setup but not able to execute the measurement from the software (the measure button is in grey and not able to click). Meanwhile, the system log at the top right of the screen shows an error “Problem Talking to Keithley 2400 …”. | //Problem//: Hall Measurement Software(HMS) won’t communicate with Magnet Power Supply (MPS) |
| | |
| | //Solution//: Check the VI “mode”switches on the back of the power supply. Make sure they are switched to “EXT”mode (see page 2-5 of MPS Manual). |

| | //Cause and Solution//: It is likely that the user login with his/her own ONID but the equipment is still connecting to the lab-shared account. The equipment does not support parallel connection with multiple accounts so it reports an error. To solve the problem, login with the lab-shared account. Users may find username and password near the screen. |

| **Software**: Open "HMS". You do a manual resistance measurement, field measurement or temperature measurement (top bar, right). First step is usually an I-V measurement ... to be continued. | **Software**: Open "HMS". You do a manual resistance measurement, field measurement or temperature measurement (top bar, right).
