Saving and Recalling an Instrument State
Using this procedure, you will learn how to save instrument settings to a memory register
and to recall the settings.
1. Preset the signal generator to the factory-defined instrument state.
2. Set up the signal generator with the following changes:
a. Set the frequency to 800 MHz.
b. Set the amplitude to 0 dBm.
c. Enable amplitude modulation (
AM display annunciator is on).
3. Save this instrument state in the signal generator memory in sequence 1, memory
register 01. Press
Save > Select Seq. The sequence number becomes the active function.
The signal generator will display the last sequence that you have used. Set the
sequence to 1 using the arrow keys.
Press
Select Reg. The register number in sequence 1 becomes the active function. The
signal generator will either display the last register used [accompanied by the text:
(in
use)
] or, if no registers are in use, will display register 00 [accompanied by the text:
(available)]. Use the arrow keys to select register 01.
4. Press
Save Seq[1] Reg[01]. The current instrument settings including the frequency,
amplitude, and modulation changes you made have been stored in signal generator
memory.
5. Preset the signal generator to the factory-defined instrument state.
6. Recall your instrument state. Press the front panel
Recall key. Notice that the Select Seq
softkey shows sequence 1. (This is the last sequence that you have used.) You do not
need to change the sequence. Press
RECALL Reg. The register to be recalled in sequence 1
becomes the active function. Press the up arrow key once to select register 1. Notice that
your stored instrument settings have been immediately recalled.
