Title: 3458a show "SELF TEST PASSED" but ERR light still on
Post by: aronake on May 20, 2023, 04:02:20 pm

For a 3458a, if it show "SELF TEST PASSED" and the ERR light is lit up, how should this be interpreted? That the selftest did pass with no errors, but there have been some other error? Or there was an error in the selftest? Is this ERR something to be concerned about?

if the ERR annunciatior lights up, simply call the ERR? function and read the error code and error text.
This way, nobody can't tell, what's the cause of this message.
