The default settings return "Keysight Technologies" followed by the model number "DAQ970A". For more
information, see the *IDN? and SYSTem:PERSona Subsystem commands in the Keysight DAQ970A Pro-
gramming Guide.
Important: In order to update the instrument firmware from remote, the model number in the *IDN?
response must match the actual instrument model number. If you have changed the instrument's *IDN?
response to another instrument, when attempting to update the firmware from remote, you will see this
error: The instrument is not supported by this firmware file. To update the firmware, either update using the
front panel procedure or, from remote, use SYSTem:PERSona:MODel to set the *IDN? to match the actual
model number, update the firmware, and then use SYSTem:PERSona:MODel again to set the *IDN?
response to the other model number.
Refer to the links below for the remaining of softkey settings.
