ViStatus age1439_self_test(ViSession id, ViPInt16 testResult, ViChar testMessage[]);

Description

The Agilent E1439 self test includes the following tests:

•Digital: verifies the integrity of paths from LO chip through the filters to the memory controller.

•Serial: verifies the integrity of serial setup path for each board.

•Memory: fills the entire DRAM then verifies that all the data is correct.

•Analog: verifies that auto zero adjust is working and that the input is triggering.

•Clock: verifies that the oscillator is working properly.

•Fiber: performs five-second internal fiber verification.

Parameters

is the VXI instrument session pointer returned by the age1439_init function. points to the self test status message string up to 256 characters long.

For this parameter you must allocate a character array of at least 256 characters AGE1439_STR_ LEN_MIN, including the null byte, prior to calling this function in any programming language.

points to the instrument numeric error code. Possible test result values are:
