Power On Last Preset
This softkey toggles the power-on state of the signal generator between
Last and Preset.
• If you choose
Last, each time you cycle power to the signal generator
it will turn on in the same condition as when you turned power off.
The signal generator must not receive commands for a second before
the power is turned off to guarantee that the most recent state is
saved.
• If you choose
Preset, each time you cycle power to the signal
generator it will turn on in either the factory-defined preset
condition or in a user-defined preset condition. You make the choice
between factory- and user-defined preset with the
Preset Normal User
softkey.
The power-on state is a persistent state; it is not affected by an
instrument preset or by a power cycle.

factory-defined state or to an 8648-equivalent state. (Refer to the
