Micura Error 88, Hardware not conform to specification


Recommended Posts

---

I have an XTR adaptor plate giving me trouble on my Micura.  I'm getting the "88 Hardware not conform to specification" every time it picks up this adaptor plate.

My first thought was scratches on the contacts, I do see a scratch I don't like;  but this one doesn't look that bad.  It looks better than other plates that work just fine.  Does anyone have a good strategy to force thru this error.  

I've already replaced it with a new adaptor plate, so its not holding me up or anything.  But I really don't want to scrap this $1200+ plate if I can help it.

Isn't this used only for probe identification? Usage is show like that - but that doesn't mean that this one spot is faulty - it can be 2nd from top to left with darker spot, which can be faulty.

Same this is on mobile covers - i use solder and microsoldering pen to fill that - gold is used because of material property - inertia. It won't corode.

If it's not working, then try it out to cover it with solder - but you will face the same problems in a time again.

I don't have experience with these - never seen one on my eyes, but since it's auto-rotating plate, then movement of that rotation can push contact pin into contact area and do a little scratch with maybe a dirt. Perhaps manufactiring tolerances ... But that's only my assumptions.

I think problematic will be that furthest to the left side of a red box.

Here is a KBA on the topic: https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=520864

Sometimes reteaching the chip ID can fix things:

And a colleague of mine states that as a "long shot" attempt, you can try running the device activator:  https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=1107375

I see that error all the time. Most of the time cleaning both the adapter plate contacts and the contacts on the probe head with contact cleaner solves it for a while. I've never had one stuck completely. Usually just doing manual pickup after the error recognizes the plate. I have ID Chip recognition disabled, don't know if that makes a difference.
