3-2 Agilent E5250A User’s Guide, Edition 9
Executing Self-Test and Leak Test
This chapter describes how to execute the Self-Test and the Leak Test.
The Self-Test consists of three tests that check the operation of Agilent E5250A
firmware, LEDs, and key that are on the E5250A front panel, and the relays on the
cards installed in the E5250A.
Self-Test should be executed every day as an operation check before using the
E5250A.
The Leak Test checks leakage current of cards installed in the E5250A.
Leak Test can be executed by using Agilent 4155/4156 Semiconductor Parameter
Analyzer with the Self-Test Utility program that is on the E5250A Program Disk
furnished with the E5250A.
NOTE Performance Verification
The Self-Test and the Leak Test cannot be used to verify the specifications of the
E5250A, E5252A, and E5255A.
To verify the specifications, return the E5250A with the cards installed to your
nearest Agilent Technologies Service Center. The performance verification should
be done by service personnel who are trained to service the E5250A, and should be
performed once a year.
• “Executing Self-Test” introduces the test items of the Self-Test and describes
how to execute the Self-Test.
• “Using the Self-Test Utility” describes how to execute the Self-Test and the
Leak Test interactively from Agilent 4155/4156 semiconductor parameter
analyzer.
