Menu preferences are not normally retained after the power is
removed from the instrument. To make (a) menu preference(s)
permanent, make the desired change(s) to settings first and
then proceed to the section Storing the Menu Preferences to
make the changes permanent. Following this procedure will
put the settings into non-volatile memory and allow them to
be restored during instrument power-up.
