Power-on Self-test Failures

The power-on self-test sequence tests most of the digital and DAC circuits. If the supply fails self-test, the display "ERR" annunciator will come on. You can then query the unit to find out what the error(s) are. When an error is detected, the output is not disabled so you can still attempt to program the supply to help troubleshoot the unit. Table 3-2 lists the self test errors and gives the probable cause for each error.

NOTE: A partial self test is performed when the *TST? query is executed. Those tests that interfere with normal interface operation or cause the output to change are not performed by *TST?. The return value of *TST? will be zero if all tests pass, or the error code of the first test that failed. The power supply will continue normal operation if *TST? returns a non-zero value.
