Initializing the Performance Test Setup 6-7.
Complete the following procedure to initialize the performance test setup. It is
assumed you have configured the host computer and instrument as described in
"Configuring the Performance Test Setup" (above). Testing begins with the
instrument and host computer unpowered. This assures that at power-up self-tests
are completed successfully, the correct host computer Ethernet port is activated,
the host computer configuration is accurately reflected, and other background
operations are completed. This procedure clears the instrument of any existing
BCN, Line Frequency, and Network settings.
1. Apply Instrument Power with Configuration Reset Hold down the
COMM key on the instrument front panel and apply power to the instrument.
After the instrument beeps and momentarily displays "rESEt" (Reset), release
the COMM key. If any self-test errors are reported on the front panel display,
refer to "Self-Test Diagnostics and Error Codes" in this chapter.
Configuration Reset sets the instrument to the default parameters: BCN=1,
Line Frequency=60, and Isolated Network.
2. Set the Line Frequency If the ac power applied to your instrument is 60 Hz
(default), continue to Step 3. If the ac power applied to your instrument is 50
Hz, complete this step.
Press the COMM key for three seconds, until a beep is heard and the SET
annunciator in the display is lit. Press the up/down arrow keys until LinE
(Line Frequency) is displayed in the primary display. Press the ENTER key.

display. Press the ENTER key.

Setup menu to open the Communications Configuration File dialog box.
Observe the Instruments on Network list. If the list includes instrument 01
with the correct model number (model 2640A or model 2645A), continue to
Step 6.
If instrument 01 is listed but with the wrong model number, select (highlight)
the instrument on the Instruments on Network list and click the Modify
