Analog Output Tests
Use the display/keypad to test the operation of the analog outputs by
forcing the outputs to known values. Measure then the values with a
current/voltage meter.
Use the display/keypad for testing.
1. Open the Main Menu by pressing any of the ▲▼◄► arrow
buttons.
2. Select System by pressing the ► arrow button.
3. Select Diagnostics by pressing the ► arrow button.
4. Select Analog output tests by pressing the ► arrow button.
5. Select one of the testing options Force 0 %/50%/100% of scale.
Press TEST to confirm your selection. All outputs are tested
simultaneously. The actual output value depends on the selected
range.
6. Press OK to stop testing. Press EXIT to return to the basic display.
ITEST
Use the ITEST command to test the operation of the analog outputs. The
ITEST command forces the analog outputs to entered values. The analog
outputs remain at these values until you enter the command ITEST
without parameters or reset the transmitter.
ITEST [aa.aaa bb.bbb cc.ccc]<cr>
where
aa.aaa
=
Current or voltage value to be set for channel 1 (mA or V)
bb.bbb
=
Current or voltage value to be set for channel 2 (mA or V)
cc.ccc
=
Current or voltage value to be set for channel 3 (optional)
(mA or V)
Example:
>itest 20
Ch1 (Tdf ) : * 20.000 mA H'CCD3
Ch2 (x ) : * 20.000 mA H'CCCB
>itest 20 5
Ch1 (Tdf ) : * 20.000 mA H'CCD3
Ch2 (x ) : * 5.000 mA H'34BD
