Power-on Setting. You can select the arbitrary/function generator settings that are
restored when the instrument is powered on. By default, the arbitrary/function gen-
erator is set to restore the default settings at power-on. To change the power-on set-
tings, use the Utility > System > Power On bezel menu. To restore the last
powered-off settings next time you power on the instrument, select Last.
Secure. The Secure function erases all the waveform/setup data in the internal
memory. This is sometimes useful when you are storing data that is confidential
and you must transport the instrument for servicing or demonstrations.
Diagnostics and Calibration. From the Utility menu, you can perform the self test
and self calibration routine.
The self test can be performed by selecting the Utility > -more- > Diagnos-
tics/Calibration > Execute Diagnostics bezel menu. The test checks whether the
instrument is operating correctly. These diagnostics can be helpful when repairing
the instrument.
The self calibration allows the instrument to operate with correct precision.
Backup/Restore. The Backup function is provided for copying the current arbi-
trary/function generator information (instrument setups or user-defined wave-
forms) to a USB memory with a single button push. Pushing the Backup Internal
-> USB Memory button will copy the internal memory contents to a USB memory.
The Restore function is provided for copying the contents of USB memory to the
internal memory.
CAUTION. Executing Secure will erase all setups and waveform data files in the
internal memory. Make sure you want to remove all data before execution. You
cannot recover the deleted files.
NOTE. The self calibration must be executed at an ambient temperature of between
+20 °C and +30 °C (+68 °F to +86 °F), when a warm-up period of approximately
20 minutes has passed.
CAUTION. Do not power off the instrument during self calibration.
