To Perform the Self-tests
The self-tests verify the correct operation of the module. Self-tests
can be performed all at once or one at a time. While testing the
performance of the module, run the self-tests all at once.
If error messages appear during the self-tests, refer to chapter 11 for a
description of the message.
Loading the PV (performance verification) operating system will overwrite all of
the Agilent Technologies 16500-series module configurations. If you would like
to keep the configurations, then save the configurations to disk prior to loading
the PV system. Refer to the
Agilent Technologies 16500/16501A User’s
Reference for more information on saving configuration files to disk.
