Self Test
Pressing Utility&Service&Start Self Test performs a series of
internal procedures to verify that the oscilloscope is operating
properly.
It is recommended you run Self Test:
• after experiencing abnormal operation.
• for additional information to better describe an oscilloscope
failure.
• to verify proper operation after the oscilloscope has been
repaired.
Successfully passing Self Test does not guarantee 100% of the
oscilloscope's functionality. Self Test is designed to provide an
80% confidence level that the oscilloscope is operating properly.
