    Upon closing the emergency stop (e-stop) the system performs an internal check. as a result of the motion controller in the couch, there is a delay in the response to the internal check. this delay may cause the couch carbon top to enter a free float state, which may allow it to move during patient load or unload activities. this free float motion results in the estop being opened due to the unexpected couch motion.
