Dear Zeiss710 users, The joystick of the Zeiss 710 is not always functional. In case of problems you can try reswitching on/off the whole system (except for the lasers) and also switching on/off the control box of the joystick. This joystick is situated under the table, after the PC. There are 2 similar white boxes there, it is the lower one that controls the joystick) However, in some cases this doesn't solve the problem. For the brave ones: you could move the stage through the software panel. A new joystick and control box will be delivered by the company.
