You can also specify that failure messages be sent to a printer, the RS-232, 
and the HP-IB—if in talk-only (
TST PRINT: ON
 or 
OFF
).
There are 13 choices for the 
TEST:
 menu item. They are listed and 
described in the following text.
TEST: ALL?
—run all tests, except display, keypad and printer 
tests.
DISP?
—illuminate the indicators and vacuum-fluorescent 
display (VFD) segments. Note, this test is not 
available if 
TEST LOOP:
 is ON. 
TEST LOOP:
 must 
be OFF.
CPU?
—test processor(s).
ROM?
—checksum the ROM.
RAM?
—test RAM.
EEPROM?
—checksum the EEPROM, which is used for 
non-volatile memory.
HP-IB?
—test HP-IB chip.
QSPI?
—test serial hardware control loops.
FPGA?
—internally measure the timebase to test count 
circuitry.
FR END?
—check front end circuits, either by swinging trigger 
levels (during power on test and ALL test) or 
asking you to connect the timebase output to 
channels 1 and 2 using a BNC-T connector to split 
the signal.
MEAS?
—make a measurement, either by swinging trigger 
levels (during power on test and ALL test) or 
asking you to connect the timebase output to 
channel 1.
