[labnetwork] Dektak 8 errors

[Mark Hofheins]

Hello All,
We are having problems with our Dektak 8.
When the stylist goes down and makes contact with the product, it does not make the small movement to go just past the starting point and begin it's scan.
It is a bit rough starting the scan, and errors very quickly with the following error.

Critical Error
Timeout waiting for scam to retract from home

next it gets another critical error that states,
 Data Acquisition Error

Everything homes correctly.
I have PM'd all lead screws, PM'd  gantry's and cleaned the Teflon pads and slider block.

Has anyone else experienced this problem/s?
