Description
C A U T I O N
Do not switch on system security unless you are willing to erase the
instrument settings stored in the instrument. All instrument memories,
including the current setting, will be overwritten with the default settings
if you
•
switch off system security
•
switch the instrument off and on again
If you accidentally switch on system security, and want to rescue the
settings stored in the instrument, store the settings on a memory card.
You can then recall them from the memory card later.
Use this command to switch on system security mode. Switch on system
security if you need to make sure that all instrument settings stored in
the instrument are erased automatically when the instrument is switched
off, or when security mode is switched off.
The instrument settings are erased by overwriting them with the default
settings.
System security mode is not available via the front panel. If you want to
erase all settings by hand:
1
SHIFT + STORE (RECALL) + 0
to recall the default settings from memory
location 0.
2
STORE + 1
,
STORE + 2
, ...
STORE + 9
, to store the defaults in memory
locations 1 to 9.
