isolation.
CAUTION. DO NOT power off the oscilloscope when either running a signal path
compensation or when doing any of the adjustments described in Section 5,
Adjustment Procedures. To do so might result in the loss of internally stored
adjustment constants.
In general, do not power off the instrument when doing operations that affect the
data types listed in Table 1–1. Wait for the instrument to finish the operation
when doing adjustments, saving waveforms, or saving setups.
Improper power off or unexpected loss of power to the oscilloscope can result in
the following corruptions of nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). The following table
describes the messages displayed when power is restored after an abnormal
power off.
