Removing Persistent State Information Not Removed During Erase
Persistent State
The persistent state settings contain instrument setup information that can be toggled within 
predefined limits such as display intensity, contrast and the GPIB address. In vector models, the user 
IQ Cal is also saved in this area.
The following key presses or SCPI commands can be used to clear the IQ cal file and to set the 
operating states that are not affected by a signal generator power- on, preset, or *RST command to 
their factory default:
Instrument Setup
• On the front panel, press: Utility > Power On/Preset > Restore System Defaults > Confirm Restore Sys Defaults
• Or send the command: :SYSTem:PRESet:PERSistent
LAN Setup
The LAN setup (hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway) information is not defaulted with a 
signal generator power- on or *RST command. This information can only be changed or cleared by entering new 
data.
User IQ Cal File (Vector Models Only)
When a user-defined IQ calibration has been performed, the cal file data is removed by setting the cal file to 
default, as follows:
1. On the front panel, press: I/Q > I/Q Calibration > Revert to Default Cal Settings
2. Send these commands:
• :CAL:IQ:DEF
• :CAL:WBIQ:DEF
Using the Secure Mode
The secure mode automatically applies the selected Security Level action the next time the 
instrument’s power is cycled.
Setting the Secure Mode Level
1. Press  Utility > Memory Catalog > More (1 of 2) > Security > Security Level.

None  − equivalent to a factory preset, no user information is lost
