:SYSTem Setup Commands

Command Syntax

When multiple oscilloscopes are connected, you can use the optional [CONNection{1:8}] parameter to identify a particular real-time oscilloscope. Specifying an invalid connection results in the string "Not Present" being returned.

Query Syntax

:SYSTem:TEST? [CONNection{1:8}]

Description

This command begins running instrument self-tests asynchronously. It blocks (acquires *OPC?) until the tests are complete.

You can also use the *TST? (Hardware Self Tests) query to run instrument self tests.

You can cancel a running self test using the :SYSTem:TEST:CANCel command.

The query form, :SYSTem:TEST?, queries self-test logs for the result of the most recent self-test and returns a string in the following format:

"<TimeStamp> <TestName> - Test Status: <Status>"
