Using a USB Keyboard

Using a USB Keyboard

You can use a USB keyboard to remotely control the RF output state, the modulation state, and to
select a memory sequence and register.
The register selection, RF output state, and modulation state are affected by power cycle or preset,
but the USB keyboard control state and the sequence selection are not.
To avoid the loss of data, GPIB settings, or current user instrument states
that have not been permanently saved to nonvolatile memory, the signal
generator should always be powered down either via the instrument's
front panel power button or the appropriate SCPI command. Signal
generators installed in rack systems and powered down with the system
rack power switch rather than the instrument's front panel switch display a
Error –310 due to the instrument not being powered down correctly.
Deletes every register in every sequence.
NOTE: You cannot recover the registers after
deleting them.
