To install the software, see page 18.
• One J-type thermocouple and a flatblade screwdriver.
Any plug-in modules that you ordered are delivered in a separate
shipping container.
2 Connect the power cord and turn on the instrument.
The front-panel display will light up briefly while the instrument
performs its power-on self-test. The
GPIB address is also displayed.
The instrument initially powers up with all measurement channels
turned off. To review the power-on display with all annunciators
turned on, hold down as you turn on the instrument. If the
instrument does not turn on properly, see page 27.
3Perform a complete self-test.
The complete self-test performs a more extensive set of tests than those
performed at power-on. Hold down as you turn on the instrument
and hold down the key until you hear a long beep. The self-test will begin
when you release the key following the beep.
If the self-test fails, see the 34970A Service Guide for instructions on
returning the instrument to Agilent for service.
