Performance Verification
Self Tests
Self Tests use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures.
The self tests include internal diagnostics to verify that the instrument passes the internal circuit tests, and calibration routines to check and adjust the instrument internal calibration constants.
Diagnostics This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the instrument is operating correctly. No test equipment or hookups are required.
The instrument automatically performs the internal diagnostics when powered on. You can also run the internal diagnostics using the menu selections described in this procedure. The difference between these two methods of initiating the diagnostics is that the menu method performs a more detailed memory check.

Confirm that there is no output being performed by verifying that the RUN LED is not on. If the LED is on, push the RUN button to turn it off.
Do the following to verify that the instrument passes the internal circuit tests:
Push UTILITY
The diagnostic menu is displayed and all tests are selected. Refer to Figure 4±1. If All is not displayed, select All using the general purpose knob.
The list displayed on the screen shows the test items and results in the calibration and diagnostics previously performed. Select all of the test items shown on the screen or use the general purpose knob to select a single test item that you want to run. The results of the diagnostics are shown as error codes. Pass means that the test results occurred without error. If an error is detected, an error code is displayed.
You can also specify how many times to perform the diagnostic tests. Push the Cycle side button and then turn the general purpose knob to select the cycle from 1, 3, 10, 100 or Infinite. When you select Infinite, the tests are repeatedly performed and are not be terminated until you push the Abort Diagnostic side button.
