4.4.12 Self-test

Self-test procedures are built in 1201 for checking that the logic and

measurement hardware are functioning properly. Every time when the

multimeter is powered on, a set of test procedures is performed to make

sure the basic function of the multimeter works properly. If any error

occurs during self-test procedures, it indicates that parts of the

multimeter are not operating properly and need to be serviced.
