#include "age1439".h
ViStatus age1439_self_test(ViSession id, ViPInt16 testResult, ViChar testMessage[]);
Description
The Agilent E1439 self test includes the following tests:
• Digital: verifies the integrity of paths from LO chip through the filters to the memory
controller.
• Serial: verifies the integrity of serial setup path for each board.
• Memory: fills the entire DRAM then verifies that all the data is correct.
• Analog: verifies that auto zero adjust is working and that the input is triggering.
• Clock: verifies that the oscillator is working properly.
• Fiber: performs five-second internal fiber verification.
Parameters
id is the VXI instrument session pointer returned by the age1439_init function.
testMessage points to the self test status message string up to 256 characters long.
Note
For this parameter you must allocate a character array of at least 256 characters AGE1439_STR_
LEN_MIN , including the null byte, prior to calling this function in any programming language.
testResult points to the instrument numeric error code.
