Self Test

Pressing Utility&Service&Start Self Test performs a series of internal procedures to verify that the oscilloscope is operating properly.

It is recommended you run Self Test:

•after experiencing abnormal operation.

•for additional information to better describe an oscilloscope failure.

•to verify proper operation after the oscilloscope has been repaired.

Successfully passing Self Test does not guarantee 100% of the oscilloscope's functionality. Self Test is designed to provide an 80% confidence level that the oscilloscope is operating properly.
