<div dir="ltr"><div>We have two Dektak3 profilometers with the same problem which I'm hoping is a software or bios configuration problem. It's possible both of these had the bios battery backup die and lost the bios settings or have user induced calibration issues. Both show the error message "Timeout waiting for AD PORT C BIT to SET" when a measurement run is started. The stylus will not lower onto the sample. It's also possible both suffered the same mechanical or electrical failure but I'm hoping someone here can point to an easier fix. Any help would be appreciated.<br><br></div>Regards,<br><br><span class="">-- <br>
