Instrument Setup and Status 3
command: *TST?
syntax: *TST?
description: The self-TeST query *TST? makes the instrument perform a self-test and place the results of the test in the output queue. If
the self-test fails, the results are also put in the error queue. We recommend that you read self-test results from the error
queue. No further commands are allowed while the test is running. After the self-test the instrument is returned to the
setting that was active at the time the self-test query was processed. The self-test does not require operator interaction
beyond sending the *TST? query.
parameters: none
response: The sum of the results for the individual tests (a 32-bit signed integer value, where 0 ≤ value ≤ 4294967296):
