Keyboard locking
Unlock to Level 1, see 'Selection menu 2' and 'Locking and unlocking' above. Keyboard
operation is disabled by pressing [Lock Keyboard]. The instrument automatically returns to the
main menu which indicates the locked status by displaying a key-shaped icon in the top left-hand
corner of the display. The keyboard can be re-enabled by entering the 4 digit password for Level
1 using the key pad and pressing [enter]. The keyboard status is saved in the non-volatile
memory.
Display blanking
To prevent sensitive data from being displayed, the 2030 Series Signal Generators include
a display blanking facility. This allows various parts of the display to be replaced by a series of
dashes so that values entered by the user or recalled from the memory will not be visible. The
instrument must be unlocked to Level 2 to enable or disable this facility. Consult the Service
Manual for further information.
Power up options
Unlock to Level 1, see 'Selection menu 2' and 'Locking and unlocking' above. Two
options are available by pressing [Power Up Options] at Utilities Selection Menu 2. These
options are [Factory] and [Memory]. When [Factory] is pressed, the factory set power up state
is recalled. Pressing [Memory] causes [Memory Number] to appear at the right-hand side of the
menu. To change the power up state of the instrument to a particular setting, enter the memory
number of the full store on the key pad and press [enter].
