5.4 Non Volatile Memory
The instrument saves each parameter in non-volatile memory when the file save "FS" command is
used to save the file. The non-volatile memory has a limited write cycle life, therefore for
programmers who wish to send all parameters before executing each test the "FS" command
should not be used. The parameters will be stored in the CPU's Random Access Memory (RAM)
until another memory location is selected. However, settings written to RAM from GPIB/RS-232
mode will be lost when power is shut down. Parameter changes to RAM are unlimited and will not
effect the life of the internal non-volatile memory chip.
