Perform diagnostics and calibration
NOTE. If you need to verify that the instrument meets the warranted specifications, do the complete set
of performance verification procedures provided in the Specifications and Performance Verification
Manual.
The instrument performs a limited set of hardware tests at power-on. You can also run the following
manual diagnostics and calibration functions from the Utility menu (see Utility menu (on page 117
) for
more information). This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the instrument is operating
correctly.
Diagnostics (self-test): Perform diagnostics to verify that your instrument is operating
