scp_selftest
This command does an internal self-test of the scope card.
Usage
int scp_selftest(int instr_id)
instr_id
The instrument identification code of the scope card
Details
The scope card must be initialized before using this command.
This command returns a 0 if executed without error; a negative number indicates an error.
Example
Status1 = scp_selftest(SCP2);
Does a self-test of scope card 2 (SCP2).

instr_id
The instrument identification code
min_freq
Start frequency of the scan in Hertz (Hz)
max_freq
Stop frequency of the scan in Hz
res_bandwidth
