Self Tests
The Self Tests
 
use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper 
adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures. 
The self tests include internal diagnostics to verify that the instrument passes the 
internal circuit tests, and calibration routines to check and adjust the instrument 
internal calibration constants.
Diagnostics
This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the instrument is operating 
correctly. No test equipment or hookups are required.
The instrument automatically performs the internal diagnostics when powered on; 
you can also run the internal diagnostics using the menu selections described in this 
procedure. The difference between these two methods of initiating the diagnostics 
is that the menu method does a more detailed memory check than the power–on 
method.
Confirm that there is no output being performed by verifying that the RUN LED is 
not on. If the LED is on, push the RUN button to turn it off.
Do the following to verify that the instrument passes the internal circuit tests:
Push UTILITY (front–panel)!Diag (bottom)!Diagnostic All (side). 
The diagnostic menu is displayed and all tests are selected. Refer to Figure 
B-35. If All is not displayed, select All using the general purpose knob.
The list on the screen shows the test items and results in the calibration and 
diagnostics previously made. Select all of the test items shown on the screen or use 
the general purpose knob to select a single test item that you want to run.
