HP 16530/31A- Service
6-7. SELF TESTS
The self tests for the
HP
16530/31 A Oscilloscope Module will identify the improper operation of
major functional areas in the module. They are not intended for component level diagnostics. If
there are multiple oscilloscope modules, the user must select the specific oscilloscope module
to be tested at the main test system menu.
All self tests can be run without access to the interior of the instrument. If a failure is found, the
troubleshooting chart in paragraph 6-8 may require the use of the extender board to further iso-
late the problem to a specific card or cable.
