[labnetwork] Instrument Relocation During Warranty Period - Best Way

[YuYing Tang]

Dear Vampi, Rick, Mark,

Your advice are very helpful!  Thanks a lot.

I think that we will generate an action list based on your suggestions,
instrument manuals, and the suppliers' suggestions.  We will be moving
these instrument 1/4 mile down the road in 10-12 months, and we'll keep
learning and adding/modifying the list.

Best,

> 1. Decommissioning: Removed the connections and separated the tool,

> 2. Remove focusing probes and camera.
> 3. Remove the optical fiber cable and carry it safe separately.
> 4. Moved to the new location and commissioned the tool.
> 5. Reconnect the optical fiber
> 6. Do the calibration.

> You may think of removing the bulbs as well.
