Chapter 3, Operating Overview
Saving and Recalling Instrument Setups
Saving and Recalling Instrument Setups
The SAVE and RECALL functions allow you to store different instrument setups
and retrieve them later, eliminating the task of re-configuring the Test Set.
The number of available save registers depends on how many changes were made
to the base instrument setup for each save. (See
"BASE Settings" on page 79.) The
smaller the number of changes, the greater the number of save registers that can
be used (typically over 200).
Save/Recall register settings can be saved to several types of mass storage. This
allows you to “back up the settings in case you need to clear them from memory
(see
"Memory Considerations" on page 79) for running large programs, or when a
firmware upgrade is performed (see
"Save/Recall" on page 441).
