Power Switch
Pressing this front panel key toggles power to the signal generator
either on (green LED on) or to standby (yellow LED on). In standby
mode, the power switch is off but the instrument is still connected to the
mains circuit by way of the power cord. The detachable power cord is
the instrument disconnecting device. The front panel power switch,
therefore, is not, and should not be used as, a line switch.
CAUTION Avoid turning off power to the signal generator unless it is quiescent
(not currently changing state as a result of front panel operation or
remote control).
