Tektronix FG 5010 User Manual

MISCELLANEOUS OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
Memory
Up to ten complete instrument setups can be stored in
the FG 5010 memory . All operating functions except incre
ment size are
stored . Once
a setup has
been stored
, it re
mains in
memory
until
changed
or power
is
removed
.
Recalling
a
setup does not
erase
it from
memory
.
NOTE
If power is interrupted for any reason , all memory is
lost and
will
revert
to
power
up
conditions
when pow
er is restored .
At
power up , the
initial settings
described
under
First
Time Operation are all stored in each of the ten memory
locations . To store a setup , it is necessary to enter into
memory only
those
functions that are
different than the
power
up
setting . Once a
setup has been
defined
,
a STORE
command followed by a to 9 digit and ENTER places the
setup
in the
selected
memory
location
. A
RECALL com
mand followed by a to 9 digit and ENTER will retrieve the
data in the specified location . To change part or all of a
setup
in
memory , call up the
desired function ( s ) , set the new
value ( s ) , and enter a STORE command for the location that
contains that setup ; the new information is written over the
old .
Increment
The INCREMENT buttons allow the numeric value of the
function
parameters
to be
increased or
decreased
in
selectable step size . At power up , the increment size for all
parameters defaults to the least significant digit ( LSD ) dis
played . The increment size for any parameter can be set to
any
value within
specified
limits
.
Operating

parameter may now be
called
up .
A single depression of the desired increment button will
change the value of the selected parameter by one step .
When the button is held in the HOLD FOR AUTO position ,
the parameter value will increment automatically up or down
until the button is released or the parameter limit is reached .
When in AUTO increment , the rate of change is slow at start
and accelerates to a very rapid , finite rate . To revert to the
LSD
condition , select
INCR SIZE ,
press ( LSD
) on the key
board , and
ENTER .
It
should
be

an
attempt to
increment a
param

tions results .
Errors
When an attempt is made to enter an invalid or out of
range number from the keyboard , the ERROR and NOT EN
TERED indicators will blink . All further instructions will be
ignored until
the error is
cleared
.
Depressing the
CLEAR
button returns the instrument to the condition it was in just
prior to the start of the invalid entry .
If any key other than the numeric keyboard generates a
conflict , only
the
ERROR indicator
will blink .
Errors
of this
nature are cleared by depressing any key except INST ID
and the key that caused the error .
Errors caused by front panel entries do not generate a
service
request ( SRQ )
. Erroneous
commands
received over
the GPIB generate a service request , but do not display an
error code on the front panel . Refer to the Programming
Section .
