Line frequency
NOTE Line frequency only applies to models with a DMM installed.
The Series 3700 will operate at line frequencies of either 50Hz or 60Hz. The line frequency is
auto-detected at startup.
Use the localnode.linefreq bus command to see the line frequency. For example:
print(localnode.linefreq)
Fuse replacement
Refer to the Fuse replacement (on page 8-1) topic contained in the user's manual for fuse
replacement information.
Power-up sequence
On power-up, the Series 3700 performs self-tests on its ROM, NVRAM, and RAM and
momentarily lights all segments and annunciators. If a failure is detected, the instrument
momentarily displays an error message and the ERR annunciator turns on. (Error messages are
listed in Error and status messages contained in the Reference manual.)
NOTE If a problem develops while the instrument is under warranty, return it to Keithley
Instruments, Inc., for repair.
Assuming no errors occur, the Series 3700 will power-up as follows:
1. "No Comm Link" is briefly displayed.
2. "Initializing" is displayed for several seconds.
3. Nearing the end of initialization, the 1588 and LAN status LEDs light.
4. All of the display pixels briefly light.
5. The display shows:
