Brief Procedures
The Self Tests use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper
adjustment. No test equipment is required to perform these test procedures.
The Functional Tests utilize the probe-compensation output at the front panel as
a test-signal source for further verifying that the oscilloscope functions properly.
A 10X probe, such as a P5050, is required to perform these test procedures.
Self Tests
This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the oscilloscope is adjusted
and functioning properly. No test equipment or hookups are required.

pass. If any failures occur, you can use the GPIB command DIAG:RE-
SULTS:VERBOSE? to query for details on the errors.
