Shutting Down the Oscilloscope
When you push the front-panel On/Standby switch, the oscilloscope starts a
shutdown process (including a Windows shutdown) to preserve settings and then
go into standby mode. Avoid disconnecting the power cord to shut down the
oscilloscope.
NOTE. If you remove power instead of using the On/Standby switch to shut dow n
the oscilloscope, the oscilloscope will be in the factory Default Setup when
powered up the next time.
It may be necessary to hold the On/Standby switch for up to 20 seconds for the
shutdown process to initiate.
To completely remove power to the oscilloscope, perform the shutdown process
just described and disconnect the power cord from the power source.
Creating an Emergency Startup Disk
Now that you have completed the basic installation process, you should create an
emergency startup disk that you can use to restart your oscilloscope in case of a
major hardware or software failure. Store this disk in a safe place.
CAUTION. Create this disk and store it in a safe place. It may allow you to
recover your Windows 2000 installation without rebuilding the entire
oscilloscope hard disk.
The emergency startup disk contains basic files to restart your oscilloscope. The
disk also contains files to check and format the hard disk.
Follow these steps to create the emergency startup disk for an instrument using
Windows ME:
1. Minimize the oscilloscope application by selecting Minimize in the File
menu.
2. Click the Windows Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
3. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
4. Click the Startup Disk tab.
5. Insert a floppy disk into the disk drive, and follow the on-screen instructions
to create the startup disk.
