The service log contains historical information about in- strument condition and any failures that may have oc- curred. It should be cleared only by a qualified service engineer. Such clearing shuld be accomplished only upon determining that the errors need not be saved to disk, or printed out for service purposes.

Procedure:

Step 1. Press the Option Menu key (Enhancement key group) to dis- play the OPTIONS menu.

Step 2. Select DIAGNOSTICS from menu (left); then select READ SERVICE LOG from the DIAGNOSTICS menu.

The 373XXA will now display the contents of the service log. The display consists of a header and an error listing. The header contains a variety of system service informa- tion. The error listing contains error messages for failures that may have occurred during operation.

NOTE

Errors 7201–7209, GPIB remote opera- tion programming errors, report that one or more external GPIB programming er- rors has been detected. These messages do not indicate a 373XXA system fault.

Informational messages 0000–0099 report the pass/fail status of a peripheral access. These messages do not indicate a 373XXA system fault.

Any other error messages in the service log may indicate an instrument problem and should be investigated. Refer to the Chapter 5, Troubleshooting, for further information.

CAUTION

The CLEAR SERVICE LOG menu selec- tion will immediately and permanently clear all the error message entries from the ser- vice log. (However, it will not clear the header information.) See Caution message at top of page.
