System Status. Touch this soft key to display a summary of the AM700 system
configuration selections as seen in Figure 2–10. This display is useful for quickly
determining what measurement the views in the running application are set up to
display, how the trace data is displayed (interpolator, point plot, tabular, etc.), the
measurement channel input selection, and the generator signal type choices for
the analog and digital generators.
State Saving. This selection provides two choices: one saves the present state of
instrument settings that can be saved, and the other restores the factory default
settings. If you want to save a particular setup state for an application, it should
be done immediately before turning off the AM700. Settings for many of the
controls are saved each time an application is changed. Any settings that are
saved when State Save is used are overwritten if further changes are made and
