System

happens behind the scenes when a controlled shutdown is requested by using the front panel
power Standby key or by using the remote command SYSTem:PDOWn. The non-active modes are
saved as they are deactivated and recalled by Power On Last State.

An instrument can never power up for the first time in Last.

If line power to the analyzer is interrupted, for example by pulling the line cord plug or by switching off
power to a test rack, Power On Last State may not work properly. For proper operation, Power On Last
State depends on you shutting down the instrument using the Standby key or the SYSTem:PDOWn SCPI
command. This will ensure the last state of each mode is saved and can be recalled during a power up.

Notes

Power on Last State only works if you have done a controlled shutdown prior to powering on in
Last. If a controlled shutdown is not done when in Power On Last State, the instrument will
power up in the last active mode, but it may not power up in the active mode’s last state. If an
invalid mode state is detected, a Mode Preset will occur. To control the shutdown under remote
control use the :SYSTem:PDOWn command.

Notes

It is no longer possible to power-up the analyzer in the last mode the analyzer was running with
that mode in the preset state. (ESA/PSA SYST:PRESET:TYPE MODE with SYST:PON:PRESET)
You can power-on the analyzer in the last mode the instrument was running in its last state
(SYST:PON:TYPE LAST), or you can specify the mode to power-up in its preset state
(SYST:PON:MODE ).
