G6230 TOF is suddenly no longer responding

My 6230 TOF is suddenly no longer responding and it is no longer recognized by Masshunter software or the diagnostic utility software. The instrument had pumped down over the weekend after having been shut off completely for 1+ years. 

System specs:

Windows XP, Masshunter B.04.00

Sequence of events:

Pump down via diagnostic utility commands -> 2.10 Exp-6 Torr turbo pressure in about 100 hrs

Voltage conditioning started using diagnostic utility commands -> started 8 h cycling

Switch on Masshunter acquisition software -> recognized TOF

Lost connection to TOF although it responded to being pinged.

Was no longer to communicate with either software

Are there any suggestions what we could do?

Thank you in advance.

  • Hello m4esti

    Thank you for all the help. I think I located the connection problem: The LAN card that was dedicated to link the PC to the LC and TOF must have become dysfunctional. I switched the 192.168.254.1 address of the PC to the port labeled "House" and was able to link this way successfully to the LC and TOF. I have seem to have regained full control over the TOF.

    Thank you.
