To perform the power-up tests
16900A, 16902A, and 16903A Service Guide
The logic analysis system automatically performs power- up
tests when you apply power to the instrument. Any errors
are reported in the boot dialogue. Serious errors will
interrupt the boot process.
The power- up tests are designed to complement the
instrument on- line Self- Tests. Tests that are performed
during powerup are not repeated in the Self- Tests.
A monitor (16900A only), keyboard and mouse must be
connected to the mainframe to observe the results of the
power- up tests.
Exit all logic analysis sessions.
