Windows Task Manager
Recovery Console
The N778xBD instruments provide an emergency recovery tool. If the
system is corrupted, you can connect a keyboard to the instrument and
press
ESC
during the boot process. You will be prompted to do so while
still in text mode. You can then select the
Recovery Console
from the boot
menu and will be guided through the recovery process. This recovery tool
will only recover the C:\ drive, i.e. the system drive. It will reset the
polarizationNAVIGATOR™ to the version the instrument has been delivered
with. Therefore the polarizationNAVIGATOR™ may prompt you for
updating the instruments firmware, if you have performed any updates
since purchasing the instrument. You will have to re-apply any such
updates after the recovery. The D:\ drive, which contains your
measurements, will not be modified during the recovery.
NOTE
For further details on working with applications, instrument control and
measurement automation, please refer to the Keysight N778xB User's
Guide (Part No. N7781-90001).
