2.5.27 Saving & Recalling Configurations
■ *RCL
■ *SAV
The 58542 has 21 instrument state memory registers. Registers 1 through 20 are available for store and
recall. Register 0 contains the previous state of the instrument and can be used to toggle between two
different instrument configuration states.
Instrument configuration can be saved to registers 1 through 20.
Any configuration items which are not listed under the *RST or
PRESet conditions are not savable. Make sure all aspects of the
configuration are savable. For example, sensor power sweep cal-
ibration curves can not be saved in the configuration memory
registers. Sensors must be calibrated to the 58542 power meter
each time a new sensor is attached.
2.5.28 Halting Operation
■ ABORt
*RCL
Syntax:
*RCLspace<memory location number 0 to 20>
Example:
OUTPUT @PWR_MTR;*RCL 19 ! RECALL 58542 REGISTER 19
Description:
Recalls instrument configuration. 0 is the PRESet configuration.
*SAV
Syntax:
*SAVespace<memory location number 1 to 20>
Example:
OUTPUT @PWR_MTR;*SAV 20 ! SAVES AT 58542 REGISTER 20
Description:
Saves current configuration to memory. Saving a configuration to memory position 0 cannot
be done.
ABORt
Example:
OUTPUT @PWR_MTR;ABOR ! HALTS MEASUREMENT & TRIGGERING
Description:
This command stops operation, but it does not interrupt the completion of the current action.
For example, sensor calibration is not interrupted. Burst mode data collection is not
interrupted.
NOTE: When using the 8035XA Peak Sensor, if a Time-Out occurs due to the sensor
not triggering (i.e., Level too low) then send “Abort” to clear the meter.
