Hi all, anyone know how to determine laser usage on the FV1000?  Our 488 laser quit on us and I don't think it has that much usage so would like to investigate.  Thanks!

On the back of the black box where the laser head is inside, there is a
small LCD screen.  The number on it should be the hours for 488.
Otherwise, somewhere in the Fluoview software, there is a configuration
setting. The setting can tell you the hours for each laser since the last
reset. Rep from Olympus should know how to access that setting.
