The self test checks specific hardware components for basic
functionality. At initialization, the following self tests are automatically
run:
•
Pattern Generator Power Up Test
•
Error Detector Power Up Test
The current system state is saved and the instrument is re-initialized before
performing the selected tests. The saved system state is restored upon completion
of the self test.
When Self Test is selected from the Utility menu, the Self Test Options dialog
box opens. In this dialog box, you can select additional self tests that
will run when you click Run Test.
During accumulation or while auto-search functions are in progress, Self Test is
not available.
The pass/fail results of the self test are displayed in the Self Test
Options dialog box. In case of failed tests, you can view detailed error
messages in a separate window.

1 Select Self Test from the Utility menu.
This opens the Self Test Options dialog box.
