System-Related Operations
This section gives information on topics such as power-down recall,
self-test, error conditions, and front-panel display control. This
information is not directly related to waveform generation but is an
important part of operating the function generator.
Power-Down Recall Mode
When power is turned off, the function generator automatically stores
its state in memory location "0". You can configure the function
generator to automatically recall the power-down state when power is
restored. The recall mode is disabled when the function generator is
shipped from the factory.
The power-down recall mode can be set from the front-panel only.
• When the recall mode is disabled (factory setting), the function
generator powers up in its default configuration (see page 123).
When the recall mode is enabled, the function generator powers up
in the power-down configuration.
• The power-down recall setting is stored in non-volatile memory,
and does not change when power has been off or after a remote
interface reset.
• The power-down recall mode "remembers" the function (including
arbitrary waveforms), frequency, amplitude, dc offset, duty cycle,
as well as any modulation parameters.
• Any arbitrary waveforms downloaded to "
remembered. However, if an arbitrary waveform is being output
from non-volatile memory when the state is stored, the waveform
data is stored. The stored waveform is output when the instrument
state is recalled.
