Power Module Turn-On State
When you turn on the mainframe, the power module goes through a self-test. All front panel readout digits and
annunciators turn on briefly. The panel then remains in the state shown in Table 3-1A.
Note
The figure assumes the power module still retains its factory default turn-on state. You can change this
state if desired (see "Chapter 4 - Basic Power Module Commands").
Checking Basic Module Functions
The power module is designed for remote programming over the GPIB. It also can be locally programmed from the
optional Agilent 66001A MPS Keyboard. Table 3-2 gives the SCPI commands for the remotely programmed tests. You
can send these same commands from the keyboard (see "Appendix B").
