This setting determines the action the instrument takes when line power is applied or restored. (For other models, this operation is controlled by settings in the BIOS.)
The choices are:
Last Condition (default) – resumes the instrument in the condition it was in when the line power was disconnected (On if the instrument was on, Off if it was off ).
On – always boots the instrument when line power is applied.
Off – instrument does not boot up when line power is applied (pressing the front panel button is required to boot the instrument).
It is not advised to interrupt line power while the instrument is running by removing the line cord, or switching off a power strip or equipment rack main circuit. The instrument should be shut down gracefully via the front panel power button or :SYSTem:PDOWn SCPI command.

Preset |

State Saved |
Persistent, survives preset and power cycle but not saved in the instrument state. |
Sets the states that are not affected by signal generator power–on, Preset, or *RST to their factory default settings.
Most settings are affected by Preset, but there are some settings that are unaffected. These are called persistent variables. The system and each application will list its persistent variables. To reset these, select Restore System Settings to Default.
When this control is selected, the following message appears:
"This will reset all persistent variables to their default state. This action cannot be undone. Do you want to proceed?"
The message provides an and button to let you affirm or cancel the operation.
