Test  
The R&S SML /R&S SMV03 carries out a selftest on switching on the instrument. On switching on, the 
RAM and ROM contents are checked.If an error is detected, this is indicated through a corresponding 
error message.  
The battery voltage of the non-volatile RAM is also checked on power-up. If the voltage falls below 
2.5 V, storage of data is no longer guaranteed and a message is displayed on the screen.  
 
The most important instrument functions are automatically monitored during operation. 
If a faulty function is detected in the selftest, „Err“ is displayed in the status line. To identify the error, the 
ERROR menu, in which the error messages are entered, can be called by pressing the [ERROR] key 
(cf. Chapter 9, "Error Messages"). The tests can additionally be called via the menu. 
 
Access to the tests is offered by the Utilities - Test menu.
