To test the logic analyzer hardware
In order to verify that the logic analyzer hardware is operational, run
the Self Test utility. The Self Test function of the logic analysis system
performs functional tests on both the system and any installed
modules.
1. Disconnect all probes of the logic analyzer module.
2. If you have any work in progress, save it to a configuration file. (see the
Agilent Technologies 16700A/B-Series Logic Analysis System help
volume)
3. Disconnect all loads, adapters, or analysis probes from the probe cable
ends.
4. From the system window, select the System Admin icon.
5. Select the Admin tab, then Self Test....
The system closes all windows before starting up Self Test.
6. Select Master Frame.
If the module is in an expansion frame, select Expansion Frame.
7. Select the logic analyzer that you want to test.
8. In the Self Test dialog box, select Test All.
You can also run individual tests by selecting them. Tests that require you
to do something must be run this way.
