SETUP window is displayed.

message. Click OK.

Using a SCPI command:
Send the command:
:SYSTem:POSetup <name>
Where <name> is:
• RST: Use the *RST defaults.
• SAV0: Use the setup stored at memory location 0
• SAV1: Use the setup stored at memory location 1
• SAV2: Use the setup stored at memory location 2
• SAV3: Use the setup stored at memory location 3
• SAV4: Use the setup stored at memory location 4
Using a TSP command:
Save the script that you want to use as the power-on default to be autoexec. For example, to save
the commands that are presently in the instrument to be the power-on defaults, send the command:
createconfigscript("autoexec")
If an autoexec script already exists, you must delete it by sending the
script.delete("autoexec") command. Performing a system reset does not delete the
autoexec script.
