To perform the power-up tests

The logic analysis system automatically performs power- up 
tests when you apply power to the instrument. Any errors 
are reported in the boot dialogue. Serious errors will 
interrupt the boot process.

The power- up tests are designed to complement the 
instrument on- line Self- Tests. Tests that are performed 
during powerup are not repeated in the Self- Tests.

A keyboard and mouse must be connected to the mainframe 
to observe the results of the power- up tests.

1

Exit all logic analysis sessions.

2

Press the power switch for about 1 second and release, 
wait for the unit to power off.

3

After a few seconds, turn the power switch back on. 
Observe the boot dialogue for the following:

Ensure all of the installed memory is recognized

Any error messages

Interrupt of the boot process with or without error 
message

A complete transcript of the boot dialogue is in chapter 8, 
"Theory of Operation."

4

During initialization, check for any failures.

If an error or an interrupt occurs, refer to 

Chapter 5

“Troubleshooting.”
