To reset the instrument to its factory default state, press and then
select the Set to Defaults softkey. Press YES to confirm the operation.
The Set to Defaults functionality will program the instrument’s default
setting. This is related to the electrical signals that are generated at the
instruments output connectors.
The Set to Defaults does not affect system settings like GPIB address, LAN
configuration, and Display brightness. In short everything that has nothing to
do with the BNC connectors.
There is another mechanism that will reset everything. This is called
SECURE ALL and can be found under Utility/System/Security.
SECURE ALL does a full format of every NON-VOLATILE storage in the
instrument:
Set the instrument’s default setting (just like ‘Set to Defaults’)
It erases all settings and waveforms that are stored on the
instruments internal memory
It resets all system settings like LAN, GPIB address.
SECURE ALL brings the instrument back to the ‘delivery state’, and takes
some time (several minutes) in doing this.
For a complete listing of the instrument’s power-on ans reset conditions,
see “Factory Default Settings”.
