Internal Clock (Date and Time)
Do the following steps to set the date and time in the AWG710&AWG710B
Arbitrary Waveform Generator:
1. Push UTILITY (front–panel)!System (bottom).
2. Set the current year, month and day in the Yea r, Month and Day fields.
3. Set the current hour, minutes and seconds in the Hour, Min and Sec fields.
The changes are effective immediately.
Resetting the Instrument
The AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator uses the Factory Reset
and Secure commands to reset the instrument.
Factory Reset
Factory Reset resets the instrument to the factory settings at the time of shipment.
Some settings that are set in the UTILITY menu such as Network and GPIB
settings, are not reset when Factory Reset is initiated.
To perform the factory reset, do the following steps:
1. Push UTILITY (front–panel)!System (bottom)!Factory Reset
(side)!OK (side).
Secure
Secure is a function that removes the settings and all data files stored in the
instrument hard disk. This is sometimes useful when you are storing data that is
confidential and when you must transport the instrument for servicing or
demonstrations.
NOTE. Before pushing the OK side button, confirm that the data in the editor has
been saved to a file.
CAUTION. Executing Secure removes all settings and data files in the hard disk.
Make sure you want to remove all data before execution. You cannot recover the
removed files.
