The Operator's Check for the HP E1328A D/A Converter consists of
sending the self-test (*TST?) command and checking the return. The
operator's check can be used at any time to verify the D/A Converter is
connected properly and is responding to the self-test command. See
Chapter 8 - Service for a list of D/A Converter self-test errors.
The *TST? command temporarily resets the D/A Converter (to
0 V or 0 A output) on each channel. Make sure any devices
connected to the DAC will not be adversely affected before
using *TST?.
As required, see the mainframe user's manual for information on address
selection. See the HP E1328A User's Manual for information on D/A
Converter SCPI commands.
