To Prepare the Multimeter for Use
The following steps help you verify that the multimeter is ready for use.
1 Check the list of supplied items.
Verify that you have received the following items with your multimeter.
If anything is missing, contact your nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales Office.
One test lead kit.
One power cord.
This User’s Guide.
One Service Guide.
One folded Quick Reference card.
Certificate of Calibration.
2 Connect the power cord and turn on the multimeter.
The front-panel display will light up while the multimeter performs its
power-on self-test. The
HP-IB bus address is displayed. Notice that the
multimeter powers up in the dc voltage function with autoranging enabled.
To review the power-on display with all annunciators turned on,
hold down
Shift as you turn on the multimeter.
3Perform a complete self-test.
The complete self-test performs a more extensive series of tests than
those performed at power-on. Hold down
Shift as you press the
Power switch to turn on the multimeter; hold down the key for more
than 5 seconds. The self-test will begin when you release the key.
If the self-test is successful, “
PASS” is displayed. If the self-test is
not successful, “
FAIL” is displayed and the ERROR annunciator turns
on. See the Service Guide for instructions on returning the multimeter
to Hewlett-Packard for service.
