Example: Saving an Instrument State
1. Preset the signal generator and set the following:
2. (Optional, vector models only) Associate a waveform file with these settings:
a. Press Mode > Dual ARB > Select Waveform.
b. Highlight the desired file and press Select Waveform. If the file is not listed, you must first
move it from internal or external media to BBG media, see page 71.
3. Select the desired memory sequence (for this example, 1): Press Save > Select Seq > 1 > Enter.
4. Select the desired register (in this example, 01): Press Select Reg > 1 > Save Reg.
If a waveform is currently selected, saving the instrument state also saves the waveform file
name.
5. Add a descriptive comment to sequence 1 register 01:
Press Add Comment to Seq[1] Reg[01], enter the comment and press Enter. The comment appears in
the Saved States list when you press Recall. If the instrument state has an associated waveform,
entering the waveform name makes it easy to identify which instrument state applies to which
waveform.
The following information is not stored in a state file:

• Frequency: 800 MHz • Amplitude: 0 dBm • RF: on
Instrument settings (states) save to instrument state
memory, which is divided into 10 sequences (0 through 9
each sequence comprises 100 registers (00 through 99)
Delete softkeys in the Save and Recall menus enable yo
to delete the contents of a specific register, or the content
of all sequences in the state file catalog.
The signal generator requires that you confirm a deletion
.
