<p class="MsoPlainText">We had 2 years ago an issue with our Dektak XT but I don't recall the error message. The problem was the stylus went all the way down touching the sample to measure and going immediately all the way up again. No scans were possible.
We had to call a Dektak engineer and they had to replace an electronic control card.<o:p></o:p></p>
