At power-on, the analyzer initializes itself in approximately ten seconds and
performs an exhaustive self-diagnostic that lasts about five seconds. The status

functioning properly when testing is finished. If the diagnostics fail, the status
LED blinks slowly, indicating a hardware failure. If this occurs, call CATC
Customer Support for assistance.
