ITEST Testing the analogue outputs
ITEST <cr>
or
ITEST a b <cr>
a = current/voltage of channel 1
b = current/voltage of channel 2
The operation of the analogue outputs can be tested by forcing the outputs to
given values which can then be measured with a current/voltage meter from
the analogue outputs. The response to ITEST command gives six out-
puts/parameters. Only the first two are relevant; they show the channel current
or voltage in mA or V. The other four figures contain information for service
purposes only.
Examples:
