______________________________________________________
[2021.04.13] Tune on broadband is damaged
- (remained) only 1H experiment is possible 

[2021.04.12] trouble is fixed. 
- (repaired) Shim power supply is repaired 
- (repaired) VT is working. 

[2021.04.06] Trouble summary
-(found) Shim power supply is damaged by short circuit. 
-(repaired) 1H/19F tuner trouble is fixed
-(remained) VT is not working. 
[2021.03.02] weak burning smell is detected. 
- non-zero shim adjustment failed. too low resolution

[2021.02.19] trouble on 19F automatic tune/match adjustment 
- protune is not working. Use only 1H, 13C nuclei.  (no other nuclei)

[2020.12.24]
- 현상 : console 내부 전원장치 접점에서 고온이 탐지(~ 90C) 

- 대처 : 저항부분의 고온발견으로 사용자체에는 문제가 없으나, 먼저/종이/벌레 등이 유입할 경우 화재 사고 위험이 있어 사용자가 이상을 발견할 수 있게 수동조작만으로 사용함. 

- 계획 : 국소 자동 소화장치를 IBS600 상단에 설치예정. autosampler를 이용한 Full automation사용은 이후로 중단함. 

- Too high temperature (90 Celsius degree) is deteced on resist which is located inside of console power supply. Although resist  works fine under 150C, safety manager worried about fire can be happened by dirt/paper/bug. To prevent fire out of users' sight, Full automation is halted permanently and users use IBS600 by manual operation. To prevent expected fire spreading, local fire fighting system will be installed over IBS600 console.

[solved] 
[2021.05.24] Topshim is not working 
[issue] 
[2021.05.17] 19F atma does not working well. 
- too frequent atma failure. 
=> to prevent probe damage, 19F-based experiments are only permitted on request. 
==> Contact NMR manager for 19F-based experiments. 
[2021.04.21] probe is working well 
- 19F auto-tuning is working properly. 
- 19F-1H HOESY is working without error. 
[2021.04.20] repaired probe is under test 
- experiment based on 19F nuclei is not available yet 
(19F will be possible after further examination on next week) 
[2021.02.26] 
- 현상 : 모든 19F 실험 불가 (다른 nuclei 실험은 이상없음) 
- 원인 : 19F nuclei tune 문제 
- 예상 수리 기간 : 5~6개월 예상 
- Experiment based on 19F nuclei are not working becuase of automatic tune adjustment is not working on 19F nuclei. 
(other nuclei are working ) 
5~6 month is Expected for Repair.
