selecting Instrument Preset, or by selecting Partial Preset.
The instrument is turned on by switching ( POWER) from STBY to ON. When it is
turned all, the Signal Generator goes through a sequence of internal checks. If the
instrument encounters no problems, it sets itself to the initialized state that is set up
wlth InstruI1le nt Preset. If any failures occur during the power -up self check,
hardware mcssages arc queued up to be selected with the (MSSG ) key (If the
messages encountered cannot be found in the Operating Messages operating
instruct ion beginning on page 3-177, refer to the Service Manual.) The power-up self
check takes approxima tely 20 seconds.

Generator to the initialized state described on page 3-138.
Partial Preset is selected with PARTIAL ( [SBTFT] ( INSTR PRESET) ) and enables
you to set the instrument to a known state without losing some frequently used
settlllgs.
This function maintains some current instrument settings, turns off others
(while maintaining their last -selected values so they can be selected "on" with the
(OFF ON I key), and resets other settings to Instrument Preset values. Because Partial
Preset does not reset the entire instrument state, it takes less time thall does
Instrument Preset. (For example, Partial Preset may take only a few hundred
milliseconds while Instrument Preset takes approximately two seconds)
