State Storage Commands
The instrument has six storage locations in non-volatile memory to
store instrument states. The locations are numbered 0 through 5.
The instrument uses location “0” to automatically hold the state of the
instrument at power down. You can also assign a name to each of the
locations (1 through 5) for use from the front panel.
*SAV {0|1|2|3|4|5}
Store (save) the current instrument state in the specified storage
location. Any state previously stored in the same location is overwritten
(no error is generated).
• You can store the instrument state in any of the six locations.
However, you can only recall a state from a location that contains
a previously stored state. You can use location “0” to store a sixth
instrument state. However, keep in mind that location “0” is
automatically overwritten when power is cycled.
• The instrument stores the state of all modules including all channel
configurations, scanning setups, alarm values, and scaling values.
• A Factory Reset (*RST command) does not affect the configurations
stored in memory. Once a state is stored, it remains until it is
overwritten or specifically deleted.
*RCL {0|1|2|3|4|5}
Recall the instrument state stored in the specified storage location.
You cannot recall the instrument state from a storage location that is
empty or was deleted. When shipped from the factory, storage locations
“1” through “5” are empty (location “0” has the power-on state).
• You can use location “0” to store a sixth instrument state. However,
keep in mind that location “0” is automatically overwritten when
power is cycled.
• Before recalling a stored state, the instrument verifies that the same
module types are installed in each slot. If a different module type is
installed, the instrument will perform the equivalent of a Card Reset
(SYSTem:CPON command) on that slot.
