Storing and Recalling Instrument States
You can save and recall complete instrument states including 
all front panel settings, all math registers, all Utility Menu 
settings, and all bus specific settings. There are four user 
storage registers numbered 1 through 4. An additional state, 
state 0, is managed by the instrument and stores the last 
power- down state.  The instrument automatically saves the 
complete instrument configuration to State 0 whenever a 
power- down event occurs.
For remote operation, refer to the MEMory Subsystem, the 
*SAV, and *RCL commands in the Agilent 34405A Online 
Programmer’s Reference online help.

function, range, math operations, and so on, that you want
