Press Utilities > Test / Setup > Self Test to perform the complete self-test of the instrument. It takes approximately 2
seconds for the self-test to complete.
You can also perform a complete self-test from the remote interface, see the E36731A Programming Guide for
details.
– If the self-test is successful, "Self test passed" is displayed on the front panel.
– If the self-test fails, "!Err" is displayed on the front panel. Record the error code and message and contact Key-
sight support if necessary.
– If the self-test is successful, this indicates a high chance that the instrument is operational.
User Settings
User Settings specifies user preferences that control how the user interacts with the instrument. These settings are
stored in non-volatile memory.
Sound Settings
Beeper enables or disables the beeper sound when an error is generated from the front panel or remote interface.
Key Click enables or disables the click heard when a front-panel key or softkey is pressed.
Display Options
Display Options configures the display.
You can enable or disable the display and screen saver.
If you turn off the display, press any front-panel key to turn it on again.
By default, the screen saver turns off and blanks the screen after 30 minutes of inactivity. You may disable this
screen saver from the front panel only.
The display is enabled when power is cycled, after an instrument reset (*RST), or when you return to local (front
panel) operation. Press Lock/Unlock or execute the SYSTem:LOCal command from the remote interface to return to
the local state.
You can also adjust the brightness of the display.
Help Lang selects the help language for front-panel use: English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, or Simplified
Chinese. All front-panel key help, and help topics appear in the selected language. The softkey labels are always in
English.
Date / Time
Date / Time sets the instrument's real-time clock, which always uses a 24-hour format (00:00:00 to 23:59:59). There
is no automatic setting of the date and time, such as to adjust for daylight savings time.
