Agilent Cary 660 FTIR Spectrometer problem ?

We have Agilent Cary 660 FTIR Spectrometer. Recently we encountered these error: Error 5041 : unable to start data collection the spectrometer  reported on error while trying to start data collection during MIR Power level setting routine cannot achieve MIR current to with intolerance source may need to be replaced. We want to know the cause and the solution for this error ?

    Chances are the Mid-IR source needs to be replaced in the instrument. However before the replacing the source, you should locate the a file on your system called "current.pv"  and  rename it. Then power your instrument and PC down. Restart the instrument and let it initialize with the indicator light going GREEN. Then start the PC and start the ResPro software. If the problem persists then you should have he MIR source replaced.
