up. If the previous session was terminated regularly, the oscilloscope uses the
last settings.

specified in the data sheet.
If you leave the main power switch on, the instrument is in standby mode. To dis-

required if the instrument must be disconnected from all power supplies.

down the instrument completely, use the [Power] key.
