4.7.9  Saving Transient List Programs 
When the AC source is turned off, the transient list that was programmed is not 
automatically retained. Thus, if you turn the unit off, you will lose your 
programmed transient list. However, transient programs may be saved in 
nonvolatile memory for later recall. This allows multiple transient list programs 
to be recalled quickly without the need to enter all parameters each time. 
Transient lists are stored as part of the overall instrument front panel setup in 
any of the available setup registers. 
To save the transient list you created in the previous example, proceed as 
follows: 
 
1)  Press the MENU key two times to bring up the MENU 2 screen. 
2)  Move the cursor to the SETUP REGISTERS entry and press the 
ENTER key. 
3)  The cursor will default to the SAVE REGISTER # position. Enter 
a number from 0 through 7 and press the ENTER key. 
4)  A message will appear at the bottom of the screen indicating 
that the front panel settings and the transient list data have 
been saved in the setup register you selected.
