Self-test Error List
106
Is the instrument inoperative?
Verify that the AC power cord is connected to the instrument.

Verify that the front-panel On/Standby switch has been pushed.

Is the display working?
If the display is hard to read, but the front-panel "line" LED is lit and

the fans are working, the display contrast setting may be too light or
too dark. Use the front panel menu to set the display contrast.
Does the instrument fail selftest?
Remove all external connections to the instrument.

Check that modules are installed next to each other, starting with

slot 1. If there are any empty slots (or filler modules) between the
power modules, the power system will not operate.
Check that the mainframe has the latest firmware installed.

Turn off the unit and cycle power to run selftest again.

If the supply passes selftest and there are no obvious faults, perform the
verification procedures in Chapter 2 to determine if any functions are not
calibrated, or are not operating properly.
The following table documents the self-test error messages. Refer to
Appendix A for other error messages.
Selftest Errors (these errors set Standard Event Status register bit #3)
202 Selftest Fail Aux Adc 0 expected <n1> to <n2>, measured <n3>, chan <n4>
Auxiliary ADC failed. n1 and n2 are the expected limits. n3 is the measured
value. n4 is the channel location of the failed module.
202 Selftest Fail DACs 0 expected <n1> to <n2>, measured <n3>, chan <n4>
Both voltage and current DACs are at zero. n1 and n2 are the expected limits.
n3 is the measured value. n4 is the channel location of the failed module.
202 Selftest Fail DACs 1 expected <n1> to <n2>, measured <n3>, chan <n4>
Voltage DAC is at zero; current DAC is at full scale. n1 and n2 are the
expected limits. n3 is the measured value. n4 is the channel location of the
failed module.
202 Selftest Fail DACs 2 expected <n1> to <n2>, measured <n3>, chan <n4>
Voltage DAC is at full scale; current DAC is at zero. n1 and n2 are the
expected limits. n3 is the measured value. n4 is the channel location of the
failed module.
202 Selftest Fail DACs 3 expected <n1> to <n2>, measured <n3>, chan <n4>
Both voltage and current DACs are at full scale. n1 and n2 are the expected
limits. n3 is the measured value. n4 is the channel location of the failed
module.
