System-Related Operations
This section gives information on topics such as instrument state storage,
power-down recall, error conditions, self test, and front-panel display control. This
information is not directly related to waveform generation but is an important part
of operating the function generator.
Instrument State Storage
The function generator has five storage locations in non-volatile memory to store
instrument states. The locations are numbered 0 through 4. The function
generator automatically uses location “0” to hold the state of the instrument at
power down. You can also assign a user-defined name to each of the locations (1
through 4) for use from the front panel.
–
You can store the instrument state in any of the five storage locations
. However,
you can only recall a state from a location that contains a previously-stored
state.
–From the remote interface only, you can use storage location “0” to store a fifth
instrument state (you cannot store to this location from the front panel).
However, note that location “0” is automatically overwritten when power is
cycled (the instrument state previously stored will be overwritten).
– The state storage feature “remembers” the selected function (including
arbitrary waveforms), frequency, amplitude, dc offset, duty cycle, symmetry, as
well as any modulation parameters in use.
– When shipped from the factory, storage locations “1” through “4” are empty
(location “0” contains the power-down state).
– When power is turned off, the function generator automatically stores its state
in storage location “0”. You can configure the function generator to
automatically recall the power-down state when power is restored. However,
when shipped from the factory, the function generator is configured to
automatically recall the factory default state at power-on.
