Two types of diagnostics are provided to verify the functionality of your instrument:

■

Power-on self test – Every time you power on the instrument, the instrument automatically performs the internal 
diagnostics.

■

Diagnostics from the System menu – You can also run the internal diagnostics using the System menu. Use the 
following procedures:

1. Select System > Diagnostics... from the 

menu bar.

checked.

If Loop is checked, the diagnostics runs

items are checked.
