To perform the power-up tests
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 keyboard and mouse must be connected to the mainframe
to observe the results of the power- up tests.
1 Exit all logic analysis sessions.
2 Press the power switch for about 1 second and release,
wait for the unit to power off.
3 After a few seconds, turn the power switch back on.
