128 Agilent X-Series Signal Generators User’s Guide

Optimizing Performance

Using a USB Keyboard

You can use a USB keyboard to remotely control the RF output state, the modulation state, and to

select a memory sequence and register.

The register selection, RF output state, and modulation state are affected by power cycle or preset,

but the USB keyboard control state and the sequence selection are not.

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 signal generator should always be

powered down either via the instrument’s front panel power button or the appropriate

SCPI command. Signal generators installed in rack systems and powered down with the

system rack power switch rather than the instrument’s front panel switch display a

Error –310 due to the instrument not being powered down correctly.

Turning the USB keyboard control off disables the USB

keyboard; it has no effect on the Auto Recall softkeys.

For details on each key, use key help as described on see page 44.
