If you know someone with a high voltage probe for a VOM or DMM, the ballast's output (or lack of) could be measured. If the initial strike voltage is less than 600v then a regular meter could be used.
I'm not sure if the electronic, regulating, ballast lends itself to measuring the output current. The method used for magnetic ballasts measures short-circuit current but I'm uncertain if that would affect, or damage, an electronic unit.
An oscilloscope would be ideal for electronic ballast testing as the output may be high frequency.
Perhaps one of our members with experience will chime in. I've only worked with commercial/industrial lighting, not the miniture arc tube lights.
