CAUTION To 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.
