To restore a setup that has been saved, press
RESTORE SETUP.
The saved
setup conditions and specifications will replace those currently selected.
Restoring a saved setup does not remove it from memory - the setup is
saved until a new set of values is stored.
NOTE:
The nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) used to save setups is limited
to approximately
10,000
"save cycles." Although the EEPROM is replac·
able, the save setup function should be used selectively

Values Ul'Iefl to specify vanoul'l
meal'lurement and plotting parameters are
established with the
SETUP CONDITIONS
menu and controls, shown by the
following illustration. Setup condition values determine such things as
recording time, input· voltage range, and trigger voltages.
The setup condition selectors are used to move through the setup condition
choices - briefly pressing a selector aq::esses individual menu items in
sequence, and the currently selected item is shown by the appropriate menu
indicator. Holding a selector down enables you to move through the selec
tions quickly.
Selecting a setup condition displays its current value on the LCD. Although
the setup conditions are initialized to their default values following power
up, you can modify any of the default values by using your fingertip to
rotate the control wheel. Rotating the control wheel clockwise increments
the displayed value (within an established range); counterclockwise rota·
tion decrements the value. For each condition you wish to modify, tum the
control wheel until the desired value is displayed - this value automati·
cally becomes the new, current value for the selected setup condition.
Selected setup condition values are effective until
1)
new values are speci·
fied using the control wheel,
2)
a front-panel initialization
is
perfonned,
3)
the power is turned off, or
4)
a saved setup is restored (as described in the
next section of this manual).
A
"coarse-tuning" function is provided that permits rapid access of desired
setup condition values. Pressing the
COARSE
pushbutton enables this func
tion, indicated by "COARSE" displayed on the LCD. While the coarse
tuning function is in effect, turning the control wheel generally accesses
every tenth selectable value. When the approximate intended value has
