Diagnostics
The waveform monitor provides diagnostics capabilities, which are accessed through the System submenu of the Configure menu. You can view or print the Diagnostics Log, which contains the results of the last diagnostic test that the instrument performed. You can also download the Diagnostic Log using the Remote Web Interface.
Powerup Diagnostics At power up, the instrument runs either full or brief diagnostics, depending on Setting the setting in the System submenu of the Configure menu.
Running Diagnostics You should run diagnostics after installing a new module, upgrading the instrument firmware, or when troubleshooting suspected instrument problems. Warning messages are displayed in yellow text; PASS and FAIL messages are labeled PASS (green text) or FAIL (red text). You have the following diagnostic choices:
Run Full Powerup Diagnostics. The instrument goes through all of the diagnostics and displays the results.
Run Internal Digital Path Diagnostics. The instrument checks the main digital paths within the instrument and displays the results of the various tests. If there is only one video module installed, expect some yellow warnings. After running this diagnostic, you must reboot the instrument to return to normal operation.
Run Audio Path Diagnostics (WFM7DG Only). The instrument checks the audio paths within the instrument from the optional WFM7DG audio module and displays the results of the various tests. After running this diagnostic, you must reboot the instrument to return to normal operation.
