Parameter

ONOFF

*RST value

OFF

Description

 

CAUTION Do not switch on system security unless you are willing to erase the instrument settings stored in the instrument. All instrument memories, including the current setting, will be overwritten with the default settings if you

•switch off system security

•switch the instrument off and on again

If you accidentally switch on system security, and want to rescue the settings stored in the instrument, store the settings on a memory card.

You can then recall them from the memory card later.

Use this command to switch on system security mode. Switch on system security if you need to make sure that all instrument settings stored in the instrument are erased automatically when the instrument is switched off, or when security mode is switched off.

The instrument settings are erased by overwriting them with the default settings.

System security mode is not available via the front panel. If you want to erase all settings by hand:

1SHIFT + STORE (RECALL) + 0 to recall the default settings from memory location 0.

2STORE + 1, STORE + 2, ... STORE + 9, to store the defaults in memory locations 1 to 9.
