Using the Instrument State Register
The instrument state register is a section of memory divided into 10 sequences (numbered 0
through 9) each containing 100 registers (numbered 00 through 99). It is used to store and
recall frequency, amplitude, and for PSG-A Series signal generators, modulation settings. It
provides a quick method to reconfigure the signal generator when switching between different
signal configurations. Once an instrument state has been saved, all of the frequency,
amplitude, and modulation settings can be recalled with minimum effort.
NOTE List sweep data is not saved within an instrument state. For instructions on
saving list sweep data, see “Storing Files” on page 45.
Saving an Instrument State
Using this procedure, you will learn how to save current instrument settings to the
instrument state register.
1. Press
Preset.
2. Configure the signal generator with the following settings:
a. Press
Frequency > 800 > MHz.
b. Press
Amplitude > 0 > dBm.
c. Press
AM > AM Off On.
This enables amplitude modulation (AM annunciator is on).
3. Press
Save > Select Seq.
The sequence number becomes the active function. The signal generator displays the last
sequence that you have used. Set the sequence to 1 using the arrow keys.
