Selftest at Power-On

N.B. Certain catastrophic 'System Trip
Errors' may cause the display to flash
on and off, at the point of setting power
on. In this case, immediately switch
Power Off and report the fault to your
Service Center.
The first normal action at power on is to show
the Fluke logo, and then the 9500B will run a
fast selftest:
9500B
Oscilloscope
Calibrator
If no failures are found, the 9500B will revert
to the default power-up mode, which is either
Manual mode or Procedure mode.
If System Trip failures are encountered the
9500B will show the System Trip screen
('RESUME').
If non-trip failures are encountered the 9500B
will lapse into Test mode at the following
stage:
Selftest

EXIT PRINT
Subsequent action to view the failures and
print the results follows as for a Fast selftest
which has run to completion (paras 8.3.2.2/3).

correct operation of a connected tracker-ball,
and the correct operation of a connected printer.
