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.
