Checking default settings
When the instrument is switched on, it is not the preset state that is active, but
rather the instrument state that was set before the instrument was switched off. It
is recommended that you use the "SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Preset" function to
return the instrument to its defined preset state every time a new configuration is
required or the current setup is no longer relevant.
The R&S
SGT offers a two-stage preset concept:
●
Preset the instrument to a predefined state.
The "SGMA-GUI > Instrument Name > Preset" function calls up a defined
instrument setup. All parameters and switching states are preset. The default
instrument settings provide a reproducible initial basis for all other settings.
However, functions that concern the integration of the instrument into a mea-
surement setup are not changed.
●
Preset the instrument to its factory settings.
The instrument can also be forced to load its default factory settings. To
access the corresponding dialog box, select the "SGMA-GUI > Instrument
Name > Setup > Factory Preset" function.
For more information and an overview of the settings affected by the factory
preset function, see section "Factory Preset" in the R&S
SGT user manual.
User-defined instrument states can be stored and called up using the func-
tions "SGMA-GUI > File > Save As/Open".

Working with Linux operating system
The instrument uses an embedded Linux operating system, optimally adapted to
the instrument.
Accessing the operating system
No access to the operating system is required for normal operation.
All necessary system settings can be made in the "Setup" dialog.
