Self-test
A power-on self-test occurs automatically when you turn on the power system. This test assures you
that the instrument is operational. If the self-test is successful, the power system will continue to
operate normally. If the self-test fails, the front panel Err indicator comes on. Press the Error key to
display the list of errors on the front panel. Refer to Preliminary Checkout for further Information.

Instrument Identification
Keysight N6700C MPS mainframes are identified by the serial number located on the interface cover.
Power module serial numbers are located on their top covers.
The serial number consists of a 10-character number (e.g. MY24D00013) located on the label on the
top of the interface board. The first two characters indicate the country of manufacture, and the last
five digits are a sequential number assigned to each mainframe.
For MPS mainframes, you can programmatically query the model number, serial number, firmware
revision, backup and active firmware. For power modules, you can programmatically query the model
number, serial number, installed options, voltage, current and power rating.
