Troubleshooting the Counter

You can also specify that failure messages be sent to a printer, the RS-232, and the HP-IB—if in talk-only (TST PRINT: ON or OFF).

There are 13 choices for the TEST: menu item. They are listed and described in the following text.

TEST:

ALL? —run all tests, except display, keypad and printer

 

tests.

 

DISP? —illuminate the indicators and vacuum-fluorescent

 

display (VFD) segments. Note, this test is not

 

available if TEST LOOP: is ON. TEST LOOP: must

 

be OFF.

 

CPU? —test processor(s).

 

ROM? —checksum the ROM.

 

RAM? —test RAM.

 

EEPROM? —checksum the EEPROM, which is used for

 

non-volatile memory.

 

HP-IB?—test HP-IB chip.

 

QSPI? —test serial hardware control loops.

 

FPGA? —internally measure the timebase to test count

 

circuitry.

 

FR END? —check front end circuits, either by swinging trigger

 

levels (during power on test and ALL test) or

 

asking you to connect the timebase output to

 

channels 1 and 2 using a BNC-T connector to split

 

the signal.

MEAS? —make a measurement, either by swinging trigger levels (during power on test and ALL test) or asking you to connect the timebase output to channel 1.
