Functional Description
With action you select if you want to store setup-, load setup- or get default- parameters.
The default values are factory-set and can always be used as a safe starting point with
known values. The action “Store setup” is only available when the instrument is not in the
protected mode.
The scope allows you to save/recall the settings of the channels only, the system only or
both the system + channels at the same time. As the system-parameters do not need a
change too often, here it is usually sufficient to select channels.
4 different channel settings can be saved. At start-up, PICAS will always load Setup 1.
If the cursor of this menu points to memory, pressing the ENTER button saves all current
Channel- and System- settings into the instrument’s non-volatile memory.
What is saved exactly, is defined by the action and scope settings (see corresponding
paragraphs).
 Note that you must deliberately save parameters before they can be recalled. Changes
in amplifier-settings are not automatically stored.
 Note that PICAS always starts up with loading channel Setup 1. If you do not save your
settings deliberately, the saved settings may be those from earlier measurements with
totally different settings. Therefore, first check all parameters for your application or load
default values.
The Date and Time lines will display the actual date/time when the menu is selected. The
values will only be updated when the complete menu is updated. To set the date/time just
enter the actual value and the instruments will active this date/time when entered.
