HP-IB Example
The following HP-IB command clears a register
“REG:CLE ‘<quoted string>’”
Choosing Register Names
You can use any number, letter, or combination of numbers and letters as a name
for storing instrument settings. For instance; if you want to save a setup for testing
a “Vulcan7” radio, you can save the setting as “VULCAN7”.
Two register names are reserved for special purposes: POWERON and BASE.
Specifying POWERON Settings
You can specify the instrument setting at power-on by following the procedure
described in
"To Save an Instrument Setup" on page 61, and choosing the register
name POWERON. If a SAVE Register named POWERON is detected by the Test
Set during its power-on routine, the Test Set will configure itself using the settings
stored in the POWERON register.
NOTE: If the Test Set does not successfully complete its power-on routine because of the POWERON
settings (e.g., the Test Set displays a message that requires you to cycle power to recover) you
must:
1. Turn off the Test Set.
2. Hold down the PRESET and the Hz/uV keys simultaneously.
3. Turn on power while holding the PRESET and the Hz/uV keys down until the CALL
CONTROL screen appears.
This procedure will clear all SAVE registers, including POWERON.
