Recalling an Instrument Setup
You can recall an instrument setup from the File menu or from Windows Explorer.
Quick Tips
The arbitrary waveform generator uses a setup file that has an extension .AWG. Only .AWG files are displayed on the 
Open File dialog box by default.
Once you recall a setup, the instrument retains the setup until you execute Save File or Save File As.... If you select 
Save File after changing the instrument parameters, the instrument setup file will be automatically overwritten.
Output status including DC Output becomes Off when a setup file is recalled.
1. Select File > Open File... to open the 
Open File dialog box.
You can also open the Open File dialog 
box by pushing the front-panel Open 
button.
2. Select a setup file.
3. Click Open.
NOTE. The AWG5000 series and AWG7000 series setup files are compatible each other. However, if the parameter 
value(s) of an instrument setup file are out of range, a warning message is displayed. In this case, out of range parameter 
values are set to the default values.
