General Instrument Settings
Overview of General Instrument Settings
The section "General Instrument Settings" describes the settings which do not directly affect signal
g
eneration. Most of these settings can only be accessed by means of menus which are opened using
the front panel key.
The general instrument settings affect various functions, such as storing instrument settings or setting
the IEC/IEEE-bus address in the setup menu using the
SETUP key. The order in which the descriptions
are given corresponds to the layout of the keys on the front panel of the R&S SMC (from top left to
bottom right).
Default Instrument Settings - Preset Key
The PRESET key calls up a defined instrument setup. All parameters and switching states are preset
(also those of inactive operating modes). The default instrument settings provide a reproducible initial
basis for all other settings.However, functions that concern the integration of the instrument into a
measurement setup are not changed, e.g. IEC/IEEE bus address or reference oscillator source
settings.
Note:
Resetting the instrument to the factory state is possible in the Factory Preset - Setup Settings
menu.
Remote-control command:
*RST
When the instrument is switched on, it is not the preset state that is active, but rather the instrument
state that was set before the instrument was switched off. An exeption is the state of the RF output. The
state of the RF output power-on state can be set to be always off in the EMF menu of the RF block.
User-defined instrument states can be stored and called up in the File menu.
The following table gives an overview of the presets for the most important generator settings. The
other presets can be found in the information accompanying the IEC/IEEE-bus commands (Chapter
"Remote Control Commands - Description").
