System Operations from the Utility Menu
Pressing the UTILITY key calls a list of menus which give access to various system operations
including storing/recalling setups from non-volatile memory, error messages, power on settings
and calibration.
Storing and Recalling Setups
Complete waveform setups can be stored to or recalled from non-volatile RAM using the menus
called by the
store
and
recall
soft-keys.
Pressing
store…
calls the store screen:
Save to store No: 1
◊
execute
Nine stores, numbered 1 to 9 inclusive, are available. Select the store using the rotary control or
direct keyboard entry and press
execute
to implement the store function.
Pressing
recall…
(or the RECALL front panel key) calls the recall screen:
Recall store No: 1
◊
set defaults
◊
execute
In addition to the user-defined stores, the factory defaults can be reloaded by pressing the
set
defaults
soft-key. Note that loading the defaults does not change any arbitrary waveforms, the
setups stored in memories 1 to 9, or the RS232/GPIB interface settings.
Warnings and Error messages
The default setup is for all warning and error messages to be displayed and for a beep to sound
with each message. This setup can be changed on the
error
menu:
◊
error beep: ON
◊
error message: ON
warn beep: ON
◊
warn message: ON
Each feature can be turned ON or OFF with alternate presses of the appropriate soft-key.
The last two error messages can be viewed by pressing the
last error…
soft-key. Each
message has a number and the full list appears in Appendix 1. See also Warnings and Error
Messages in the Standard Waveform Operation section.
