Secure is a function that removes the settings and all data files stored in the
instrument hard disk. This is sometimes useful when you are storing data that is
confidential and when you must transport the instrument for servicing or
demonstrations.
 Executing Secure removes all settings and data files in the hard disk.
Make sure you want to remove all data before execution. You cannot recover the
removed files.
Do the following steps to execute the Secure function:
1. Push UTILITY (front-panel)System (bottom)Secure (side).
The following message is displayed in the message box:
Secure destroys settings, and ALL DATA FILES
2. Make sure that you want to remove all the settings and data.
3. Push the OK side button.
All files, including the files used in the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator system, are removed, and the instrument settings are replaced with
the factory settings.
Connecting to a GPIB Network
The GPIB Interface can be used for remotely controlling the instrument from an
external device (such as a PC) and for capturing waveform data from an external
device (such as a Tektronix TDS-Series oscilloscope). This section describes
how to set up the instrument GPIB interface.
Refer to the AWG500/600 Series Programmer Manual (Tektronix part number
070-A810-50) for information regarding remote control commands. Refer to
Capturing Waveforms on page 3–171 for procedures and information regarding
how to transfer waveforms from an external device.
Configuration and Address are two GPIB parameters that you must set. The
GPIB Configuration contains three parameters:
Talk/Listen: Select this mode to remotely control the AWG610 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator from an external host computer.
Controller: Select this mode to use the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator as a controller to transfer waveform data to or from another device
connected to the GPIB bus.
Off Bus: Select this mode to electronically disconnect the AWG610
Arbitrary Waveform Generator from the GPIB bus.
