Self Test Failures for Instrument Shutdown
Upon shutdown, the instrument attempts to drive its output pressure to the zero current
condition and no longer executes its control function. In addition, the appropriate failure
statuses are set. Once the problem that caused the shutdown has been fixed, the instrument
can be restarted by cycling the power or selecting Restart from the Mode menu of the
handheld communicator. Also see the Viewing Instrument Status section on page 35 for
further details about failures.
Follow the prompts on the handheld communicator display to determine the self test
shutdown criteria from the following:
• Done – Select this if you are done modifying the self test shutdown criteria.
• Flash ROM Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure
associated with flash ROM (read only memory).
• Temp Comp Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever this is a failure
associated with Temperature Compensation.
• Ref Voltage Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure
associated with the internal voltage reference.
• Drive Current Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever the drive current
does not read as expected.
• NVM Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure
associated with NVM (non-volatile memory).
• Temp Sensor Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure
associated with the internal temperature sensor.
• Press Sensor Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure
associated with the pressure sensor.
• Travel Sensor Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure
associated with the travel sensor.
