The following information is not stored in a state file:
System Security Level Sweep lists Hostname Remote Language Step increment values
System Security Level Display Pulse Train lists IP Address FTP Server ARB Files
System Security Level State Display State On/Off Subnet Mask Manual DHCP MAC

When saved to the signal generator, instrument settings
(states) save to instrument state memory*. Instrument
state memory is divided into 10 sequences (0 through 9);
each sequence comprises 100 registers (00 through 99).
Delete softkeys in the Save and Recall menus enable you
to delete the contents of a specific register, or the contents
of all sequences in the state file catalog.
The signal generator requires that you confirm a deletion.

Caution
T
o avoid the loss of data, GPIB settings, or current user
instrument states that have not been permanently saved
to non-volatile memory, the MXG should always be
powered down either via the MXG's front panel power
button or the appropriate SCPI command. MXG's installed
in rack systems and powered down with the system rack
power switch, rather than the MXG's front panel switch
display a Error -310 due to the MXG not being powered
down correctly.
For details on each key, use key help
as described on page 42.
