Hello TRIUMF 
 
 This error could be related to Power Supply fails or not, interlocks... and sometimes is a general error. 
 My recommendation will be that open and close small and large cover. After this, restarting the ICPMS and PC, include lower the switch breaker from the back of the system. After restarting, please enable those meters: Forward Power and Reflected Power. And take the values for both, 
 IF those values are zero , please contact with your Agilent Support Centrer 
 
 Thanks in advance 
 Regards

Hello TRIUMF 
 As you know, during the ignition pressure meter on the Ar cylinder should be stable, because if the pressure drops it means pressure meter is failing. 
 Usually, 48 Power Supply is not related with Ar pressure, but you can check it. 
 
 Thanks

Yes the ar tank has problem, it kept constantly releasing pressure without stop, during the plasma ignition, the pressure dropped a lot. 
 Thank you so much for your response.
