Calibration self-tests
This self-test uses an internal calibration routine that checks and adjusts the internal calibration
constants.
Equipment required
None
Prerequisites
Power on the instrument and allow it to warm up for 20 minutes before
running the self-tests.
Make sure the instrument is operating in an ambient temperature between 0
To run the calibration self-test:
1. On the display, select Utility > Diagnostics/Calibration.
2. Next to Self-Calibration, select Run.
3. Make sure all cables are disconnected from the instrument and select OK.
4. Wait until the test is complete (the test will take several minutes).
5. Review the results of the test on the display and select Close when you are done.
If the diagnostics self-test completes without finding any problems, the message PASSED is displayed.
When an error is detected during diagnostics execution, the instrument displays an error code. Error
codes are described in Error codes (on page 35

NOTE. Do not turn off the power while running self-calibration. If the power is turned off during
calibration, data stored in internal nonvolatile memory may be lost.
