To check the power-up self-tests

The logic analysis system automatically performs power-up self-tests when you apply power to the instrument. The revision number of the operating system shows in the upper-right corner of the screen during these power-up tests. As each test completes, either "passed" or "failed" appears on the screen in front of the name of each test.

1Disconnect all inputs, then insert a formatted disk into the flexible disk drive.

2Let the instrument warm up for a few minutes, then cycle the power by turning off and turning on the power switch.

If the instrument is not warmed up, the power-up test screen will complete before you can view the screen.

3As the tests complete, check if they pass or fail, then return to the flowcharts.

The Flexible Disk Test reports No Disk if a disk is not in the disk drive. Refer to the tables below for the screen listing after the tests are complete and for power-up error messages.
