Claim:
1. A system for a computer-controlled central execution of a test for determining operating parameters for a scanning microscope client using a central control server, wherein an equipment component of the scanning microscope client is tested, the system comprising: the scanning microscope client; the central control server; a network interface of a workstation computer of the scanning microscope client adapted to be connectable to the central control server; a first of a plurality of software modules of an application software for the scanning microscope client, said application software being stored on the central control server and being adapted to execute a test of a first of a plurality of equipment components; and a sensor in the scanning microscope client used during execution of the test to sense the operating parameters of the first of the plurality of equipment components in association with the first of the plurality of software modules, wherein the test comprises a self-test of the first of the plurality of equipment components of the scanning microscope client to be carried out automatically at a predetermined time, wherein the plurality of equipment components includes a galvanometer, a beam splitter, a detector, a laser, a pinhole, a stepping motor and a shutter, and wherein test results of the self-test of the scanning microscope client are automatically transmitted to the central control server and stored in a Remote Diagnosis Database, wherein the test of each different equipment component is associated with a different one of the plurality of software modules.
