Default Unit Assignment Set considerations for Series 793 applications
The default Unit Assignment Set you select during installation affects Series 793 applications as follows:
• In the Station Builder application, new station configurations always use SI units as the default unit
assignment set (regardless of the unit assignment set selected during installation). You can change units
as desired while creating a station configuration. Existing station configurations always open with the
saved units.
• In the Station Manager application, display units are based upon the units assigned to the station
configuration file with the Station Builder application, or with the units used in the selected parameter set.
Changes to units made during calibration will not overwrite the original configuration file created in the
Station Builder application, even though changes will be immediately visible on the Function Generator.
When setting up the Scope, the display units reflect the station configuration created with the Station
Builder application. If you load a parameter set in which units have been changed, you will have to
reconfigure the Scope and Meters accordingly.
Note:
Any changes to the default unit set require that you close ALL Series 793 software applications,

set selected during installation (regardless of the units saved with the station configuration). You can
