Saving front-panel settings into a macro script
You can save some settings made through the front panel into a macro script that you can run later.
The settings that are saved include any settings made through:
• QuickSet menu (except the Performance slider, which cannot be used when recording a macro)
• Source menu Settings, Sweep, and Config Lists
• Measure menu Settings, Calculations, Config Lists, and Reading Buffers
• Trigger menu options Templates and Configure
• System Communication
• Time and date
Only settings are stored; no front-panel only options or key presses (including the OUTPUT ON/OFF
switch) are stored.
It also saves the reading format, access mode, and system reset settings.
Macro scripts are limited to 10 kB per script.
