Chapter 4 Calibration Procedures

Self-Test

Self-Test

Self-Test is performed as the first step to ensure the instrument is in
working order before beginning any additional adjustments.

Note

Be sure to follow the requirements listed in “Test Considerations” on
page 57 before beginning any adjustments.

Press

on the front panel. Select

Perform Cal

on the “Test / Cal”

menu. Enter setup number “1” and select

BEGIN

If the instrument fails any self-test, you must repair the instrument
before continuing the adjustment procedures.

Note

The self-test procedure takes approximately 15 seconds to complete.

Setup

Performs the Self-test. The Main Output is disabled during test.
