Self-Test Query
Syntax *TST?
Function Initiates a self-test of the source optics module and returns 0, when the source
optics module passes the self-test, or 1, if it fails
During self-testing, established optical paths are interrupted for approximately 10
seconds while the position of the switching mechanism is verified.
