Just wondering,
I have a Coherent Enterprise argon laser that I bought off of ebay for a really good pricelast year. the unit was non functional with about 6000 hrs on the tube. I fixed the unit and it is now producing 1.1 watts MLVS :P . I finally found a copy of the manual on the web, I was reading thru, and it stated that I should run the unit EVERYDAY for 1 hour at full power to make sure the gas fill system regulates the tube pressure. Do I really have to run everyday to reduce risk, or is this just technical overkill? (Unit pulls about 6.5KVA, loves my power meter....) Anyone else have any Ideas?
Thanks
