Self-Test
•
A
power-on
self-test occurs automatically when you turn on the
function generator. This limited test assures you that the function
generator is operational.
•
A
complete
self-test runs a series of tests and takes approximately
10 seconds to execute. If all tests pass, you can have a high confidence
that the function generator is fully operational.
•
If the complete self-test is successful, “
PASS
” is displayed on the front
panel. If the self-test fails, “
FAIL
” is displayed and the
ERROR
annunciator turns on. See the
Service Guide
for instructions on
returning the function generator to Hewlett-Packard for service.
•
Front-Panel Operation
:
4: TEST (SYS MENU)
Another way to perform the complete self-test from the front panel
is as follows: Hold down
Shift
as you press the Power switch to turn
on the function generator;
hold down the key for more than 5 seconds
.
The self-test will begin when you release the key.
•
Remote Interface Operation
:
*TST?
Returns “0” if the self-test passes or “1” if it fails. If the self-test fails,
an error message is also generated with additional information on
why the test failed.
