1. A diagnostic system for monitoring a scanning system that detects characteristics of a sheet of material during linear translation along a translation axis of a bi-directionally driven mobile detector device, the diagnostic system comprising:

  • (a) the scanning system being monitored which comprises;

    (i) a first elongated member that extends along a first direction wherein the first elongated member supports a first carriage that is mounted thereon; and

    (ii) means for driving the first mounted carriage, that supports a first sensor head, along a main scanning direction;

    (b) a vibration sensor configured to measure vibrations generated by one or more components of the scanning system and generating vibration signals indicative of operation conditions of the one or more components; and

    (c) means for correlating the vibration signals to modes of operations of the one or more components of the scanning system.
