Section 1: Introducing the Model 9100 1-5
Final Width = 215mm
1.2.2.5 Test Mode
Three main variants of self test are available for user initiation:
•'Fast Test': This is the same test as is carried out at power-on, checking power
supplies, etc., and is intended to give an indication whether the instrument is
sufficiently alive to attempt to use.
•'Full Test': The full test is run to completion. The 9100 will keep a list of all test
failures, including the number of the test and its result. Any failures can then be
recalled using screen keys.
•'Interface Test': This can be used to check the operation of the display and its
memory, the keyboard, and / or a printer connected to the instrument, and
a blank memory card inserted in either slot on the front panel (WARNING!: the
stored contents of any memory card subjected to this test will be over-written!).
It is possible to print out a set of results of selftests. A printer can be connected directly
to the 25-way Centronics™ printer port on the rear panel. The printer can be enabled
from within Configuration mode.
Test procedures and error-code descriptions are given in Volume 2, Section 8. In the case
of a reported or suspected failure, consult your Fluke Service Center.
1.2.3 System Operation
1.2.3.1 Remote Interface
The instrument can form part of an automated system by means of the IEEE-488
standard digital interface. The interface has been included both for automatic calibration
of UUTs, and for automatic calibration of the 9100 itself. In normal operation, the
degree of automation available will generally be determined by the manual operation
characteristics of the UUT. The method of connecting to the system controller and the
IEEE-488.2 SCPI command codes are described in Volume 2, Section 6.
1.2.3.2 Portocal II and 9010
The 9100 is included in the number of calibrators accessible through Portocal II and
9010, which can be used to calibrate UUTs remotely.
