"Lamp Heater Current Missing" but data collecting

[lcrandall]

Hi
I have an Agilent 1100 with Diode Array (G1315B) detector. In the middle of a run, the gameboy (instant pilot, whatever you want to call it) starts to show a screen saying "UV Lamp Heater Current Missing".
But, all my data collected just fine and looks normal.
I am detecting at 244nm and 290nm.
I'm confused. Is there a problem with my lamp or not? It's a new lamp.
I'm afraid to turn the lamp off now!

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

One of my 1200's reports that error a lot. Usually if I just turn the lamp on and off a few times it functions properly. I think you can probably just continue to run until your lamp doesn't fire up. I tried replacing the lamp but still got the same error. If you find out more about the error I would like to know.
