Test Signal Connections
The "Test" function triggers a test of all signal connections between the instrument and
the extension. The schematic diagram displays the required physical signal connection
for the current test setup and the connection state.
A faulty connection is marked with a red line crossing the drawn blue connection line
as shown in Figure 7-9. If your connection is marked as faulty check whether the
cables are connected properly and if the connection cables are functioning properly.
