Factory Preset
Reset the instrument's settings to their factory state.
Note: Since Factory Preset resets the Remote Channel and network settings to the
default values, executing Factory Preset via remote control terminates the connection to
the instrument, if these settings had been configured to values different to the default
ones!
The factory preset function resets nearly all instrument settings. In addition to the regular
preset by means of the PRESET key, a "Factory Preset" resets also the following values:
●
Reference frequency settings ("Ref Oscillator" menu)
●
Power on settings ("Level/EMF" menu)
●
Network settings including hostname ("Setup" menu)
●
Remote Channel settings including GPIB address ("Setup" menu)
●
Start/Stop Gui Update ("Setup" menu)
●
Display and keyboard settings ("Setup" menu).
To maintain security, password settings and all settings protected by these passwords
like disabled USB and LAN connections are not changed.
Not affected by the "Factory Preset" are also user data, lists or instrument settings files,
created for example by means of the Save/Recall function.

5.2.3.18 Help
The "Help" dialog offers comprehensive online help for the R&S Signal Generator. A
desired topic can be selected via the table of contents (select "Manual") or the index
(select "Index").
For context-sensitive information about a marked parameter, press the HELP key. For a
description of the "Help" menu, refer to the section covering to the HELP key (see chap-
ter 5.2.7, "Help System - Help Key", on page 106).
5.2.4 Switching to Manual Control - Local Key
In remote control mode a status message appears in the display header. The rest of the
display remains unchanged and shows the current instrument status, i.e. the status which
exists under the remote control settings. The instrument can be operated (e.g. menus
can be opened). However, it is not possible to enter or change values.
The status message additionally indicates whether the LOCAL key is disabled or enabled.
If the "REMOTE" status message is shown, the LOCAL key switches the instrument from
remote control to manual control. The current command must be fully processed before
the mode is switched, otherwise the instrument switches immediately back to remote
control.
If the "REM-LLO" status message is displayed, the instrument can be switched from
remote control to manual control by means of remote control only (e.g. with the Visual
Basic command CALL IBLOC (generator%)); the LOCAL key is disabled. The key is
disabled by remote control with the command LLO.
