FAQs and next steps

Why did my settings change?

The instrument saves many of the commands with the 

source or measure function that was active when you set 

them. For example, assume you have the measure function 

set to current and set a value for NPLCs. When you change 

the measure function to voltage, the NPLC value changes to 

the value that was last set for the voltage measure function. 

When you return to the current measure function, NPLC 

value returns to the value you set previously.
