Perform the Extended Diagnostics
Extended diagnostics and self calibration perform a more detailed functionality
check than the incoming inspection and Power-on diagnostics.
NOTE. Allow a 20-minute warm-up before running the self calibration.
Disconnect any attached probes from the instrument. Then select the Utilities
menu. Run the self calibration followed by the extended diagnostics by first
selecting the Instrument Calibration (see page 3--160 for additional information
on signal path compensation) and then the Instrument Diagnostics tabs. Results
of the tests display on their property pages.
To check the hardware and Windows software underlying the instrument UI (user
interface), run the CheckIt Utilities from the Windows Start menu:
1. Minimize the instrument application before running the external diagnostics.
From the File menu select Minimize.
2. Touch Start, then touch Programs in the Start Menu. Finally, touch
CheckIt Utilities.
3. From the Go To menu, select and run the tests you want to perform.
4. Check test results. All tests except the Modem and CD-ROM tests should
pass. The CD-ROM test requires data from the CheckIt Utilities CD.
5. Dismiss the CheckIt Utilities: Select Exit in the File menu.
6. Restart your instrument UI software: On the Quick Launch bar, touch
TekScope.
