Instrument Preset - HP 8901B Operation And Calibration Manual

Model 8901B Operation
Instrument Preset
FUNCTIONS
Includes all Power-Up and Default Conditions and HP-IB Clear
DESCRIPTION
When first turned on (during power-up), the Modulation Analyzer passes through a sequence of internal
checks before it is ready to make measurements. The results of these checks are indicated internally
as a service aid. (Refer to Section 8.) The running of the power-up sequence is indicated to the user
by lighting all front-panel indicators (burned-out LEDs are evident at this time). After approximately
10 seconds, this sequence is completed.
When the Instrument Preset key is pressed, the instrument configures itself the same as during
power-up, but bypasses the internal checks.
The Modulation Analyzer contains a battery back-up to its internal memory, which makes part of the
memory non-volatile after the power has been switched off (powered-down)-even if the power cord
is unplugged.
Information retained after power-down:
