7 Power-on the U3606A
To turn on the U3606A push the power switch:
The front panel display illuminates while the U3606A performs its
power- on self- test. (If the U3606A does not power- on, refer to “Operating
Checklist” in the U3606A User’s and Service Guide). If self- test is
successful, the U3606A goes into normal operation.
The U3606A powers up in the following modes when turned on for the
first time:
• DC voltage measurement function with autoranging enabled, and
• Constant voltage (CV) mode with the output disabled (on standby).
NOTE
For subsequent power cycles, the U3606A returns to the last power-off
state (when power is applied) by default. You can change this behavior in
the utility menu. See Chapter 4, “System Related Operation” in the
U3606A User’s and Service Guide for more details on changing the
instrument power-on setting.
CAUTION
• If the self-test is unsuccessful, Error is displayed on the right side of the
display. To read the error number, you will need to access the utility
menu. Press Shift > Utility to access the utility menu.
• See “Reading error messages” in the U3606A User’s and Service Guide
for more information. In the unlikely event that the self-test repeatedly
fails, contact your nearest Agilent Sales Office.
