Agilent N5181A/82A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide 39
Basic Operation
Viewing, Saving, and Recalling Data
Example: Recalling an Instrument State
1. Preset the signal generator.
2. Press Recall.
The Select Seq softkey shows the last sequence used, and the display lists any states stored in the
registers in that sequence; RECALL Reg is the active entry.
3. Select the desired instrument state:
If the desired state is listed in the currently selected sequence, press desired number > Enter.
If not, press Press Select Seq > desired number > Enter > RECALL Reg > desired number > Enter.
Example: Recalling an Instrument State and Associated Waveform File
1. Recall the desired instrument state (see previous example).
2. View the waveform file name recalled with the instrument state: press Mode > Dual ARB.
The name is displayed as the selected waveform. Recalling the instrument state recalls only the
waveform name. It does not recreate the waveform file if it was deleted, or load the file into BBG
media if it is in internal or external media.
3. Ensure that the desired waveform file exists, and that it is in BBG media (page 71). If the
waveform file is not in BBG media, performing the next step generates an error.
4. Turn on the waveform file: Press Mode > Dual ARB > ARB Off On.
Example: Recalling an Instrument State and Associated List File
Recalling an instrument state recalls only the list sweep setup. It does not recall the frequency
and/or amplitude values. Because you must load the list file from the file catalog, when you store a
list file, be sure to give it a descriptive name (up to 25 characters).
1. Recall the desired instrument state (see previous example).
2. Recall the desired list file:
a. Press Sweep > More > Configure List Sweep > More > Load/Store.
b. Highlight the desired file and press Load From Selected File > Confirm Load From File.
