9.10 Testing the Power Sensor
The selftest allows a test of the internal circuitry of the sensor.
Do not apply a signal to the sensor while the selftest is running. If the selftest is carried
out with a signal being present, error messages can erroneously be output for the test
steps Offset Voltages and/or Noise Voltages.
TEST:SENSor? [<Item>]
Triggers a selftest of the sensor. In contrast to *TST?, this command returns detailed
information that you can use for troubleshooting.
Query parameters:
<Item> String
Usage: Query only
