Caution 
To avoid the loss of data, GPIB settings, or current user instrument states that have not been permanently saved to 
non-volatile memory, the X-Series signal generator should always be powered down either via the instrument’s front 
panel power button or the appropriate SCPI command. X-Series signal generators installed in rack systems and 
powered down with the system rack power switch rather than the instrument’s front panel switch display a Error -310 
due to the instrument not being powered down correctly.
Note
To define a user preset, set the instrument up as desired and press User Preset > Save User Preset.
