Preset Actions
The selected Default or Saved Setup presets (described below) are invoked by any of the following:
Preset Key
MENU BAR | Utilities | Preset
Default
If selected, Default selection loads the factory as-shipped preset configuration which is one channel with four traces displayed on a two-row and two-column trace display. This preset option is always available. Once this option is selected, if the user presses the front panel Preset Key or selects MENU BAR | Utilities | Preset, the instrument returns to the factory as-shipped configuration.
Default 0
The Default 0 button operates identical to the Default button (above) with the addition removing any Cal Kits and/or Characterization Coefficient files from instrument memory. Once used, all connector coefficients are then returned to the factory as-shipped default values. Note that any Cal Kit and/or Characterization Coefficient files resident on the instrument hard drive are not deleted and remain in place. If this command is used, the user must re-load into memory all required Cal Kit and other Characterization Coefficient files.
Saved Setup
If selected, the Saved Setup selection loads the setup file selected in the dialog box below. Once selected, if either of the preset actions (described above) occur, the preset file returns the instrument to the user-defined configuration.
If the Saved Setup button is clicked when no prior Setup File has been saved, a NO FILE SELECTED dialog box appears with the message: “There is currently no saved setup selected. This selection requires a file selection. Would you like to select the file now?”

Click CANCEL to close the dialog box.

POWER-ON SETUP Menu Button Selection Group
The Default, Last Setup, and Select Saved Setup File buttons form a button selection group where only one (1) of the three buttons may be selected. Once selected, the power-on setting remains until changed.
Default
Select sets the factory default as-shipped power-on setup settings. This setting is always available.
Last Setup
For many users in general purpose work, this setting is the user-selected default. Select sets the power-on setup to be from the last operational state including frequencies, channels, traces, markers, and limit lines.
 
Saved Setup
Select sets the power-on settings to a previously saved user-defined setup file, useful for repeated identical settings in a line production mode. Using the button described below, a previously-saved setting file can be recalled and will remain active until changed. The system can store multiple setup files but only one can be active at any time.
If the Saved Setup button is clicked when no prior Setup File has been saved, a NO FILE SELECTED dialog box appears with the message: “There is currently no saved setup selected. This selection requires a file selection. Would you like to select the file now?”
