Display, which accesses a menu which consists of the following tests:

Bitmap Displays

Each of these tests can be run individually. Information on the instrument self test and confidence check are described on page 2-52. Refer to “Test Descriptions”, on page 2-54 if you require a description of the other tests.

When an individual test is selected, the message “Testing...” appears next to the name of the test. When the test is complete, the message “Testing...” is replaced by either the message “Passed” or “Failed”. This pass/fail indication excludes the keyboard test and the bitmap display test, both of which rely on your interaction to detect a failure.

When the individual test is complete, the result is displayed until Done is selected. If the self test failed, information about the failure is displayed on the screen.
