Saving and Recalling Power Meter Configurations
To reduce repeated programming, up to ten power meter configurations
can be stored in the power meter’s non-volatile memory. The error list,
HP-IB address, programming language, sensor calibration table data,
zeroing and calibration information are not stored.
How to Save and Recall a Configuration
Power meter configurations are saved and recalled with the following
commands:
*SAV <NRf>
*RCL <NRf>
The range of values for <NRf> in the above commands is 1 to 10.
Example Program
10 ASSIGN @POWER TO 713
20 !Configure the power meter
30 OUTPUT @POWER;“UNIT:POW W”
40 OUTPUT @POWER;“SENS:CORR:LOSS2 -10”
50 OUTPUT @POWER;“SENS:CORR:LOSS2:STAT ON”
60 !Save the configuration
70 OUTPUT @POWER;“*SAV 5”
80 PRINT “Configuration Saved”
90 !Now reset the power meter
100 OUTPUT @POWER;“*RST”
110 !Recall the configuration
120 OUTPUT @POWER;”*RCL 5”
130 PRINT “Configuration Recalled”
140 PRINT “Save and Recall complete”
150 END
