Save and Recall Instrument Setup
Each SETUP comprises an entire pattern generator and error detector configuration.
Although the instrument configures itself at power-on exactly as it was prior to being
switched off, setups provide a convenient method for switching between diverse
configurations each of which would otherwise involve many separate configuration
changes.
Enables a lower-level menu from which either one of ten USER
SETUPS or two predefined PRESETS is selected for
configuration.
See Chapter 9 for a list of PRESET configurations.
Enables the submenu allowing the user to specify which of the
ten USER SETUPS the entire system configuration is to be
stored.

Description
The softkey allows miscellaneous user functions to be selected. The right
menu softkeys are as follows:
Toggles between the locked and unlocked state. When locked
the user can not modify any of the instrument's configuration
parameters, only display parameters. Keyboard is locked when
the softkey is underlined.
Enables softkeys which allow the user to set up the error detector
real-time clock. This is the clock that is used to time stamp
logging. On power-up, the error detector searches the HP-MSIB
address space to its left (both on the same row and below) for a
module with TIME capability. If it finds one and reads a valid
time from it, the error detector deems that module to be the
holder of the system time and will not let the user set the time in
the error detector. The error detector will re-sync its time to the
system time at power-on and every hour (when not gating).
If the error detector does not find another module with the time,
