Initial configuration 
The initial configuration is selected in a way that the RF input is always protected against overload, 
provided that the applied signal levels are in the allowed range for the instrument. 
 
The parameter set of the initial configuration can be customized by using the Startup Recall softkey in 
the file menu. For further information refer to section "Instrument Functions – Basic Settings", "Saving 
and Recalling Settings Files – FILE Key".
