*TST?
*TST?
The self-TeST query *TST? makes the instrument perform a self-test and place the results
of the test in the output queue. If the self-test fails, the results are also put in the error
queue. We recommend that you read self-test results from the error queue. No further
commands are allowed while the test is running. After the self-test the instrument is re-
turned to the setting that was active at the time the self-test query was processed. The
self-test does not require operator interaction beyond sending the *TST? query.
none
The sum of the results for the individual tests (a 32-bit signed integer value, where 0 ≤ val-
ue ≤ 4294967296):

0 Selftest failed on Slot 0
If 16 is returned, the module in slot 4 has failed.
If 18 is returned, the modules in slots 1 and 4 have failed.
A value of zero indicates no errors.
