3- 12 Keysight B2961A/B2962A SCPI Command Reference, Edition 6
Common Commands
*SAV
*SAV
This command stores the present state of the instrument to the specified location in
non-volatile memory. Up to 10 states can be stored in the memory locations 0
through 9. Any state previously stored in the same location will be overwritten. Use
the
*RCL command to retrieve instrument states.
Syntax *SAV memory
Parameter memory One of the memory locations 0 to 9. Parameter data type is NR1.
The locations 0 to 4 are in the non-volatile memory, and the
locations 5 to 9 are in the volatile memory.
Remarks If a particular state is desired at power-on, it should be stored in the location 0. It
will then be automatically recalled at power turn-on if the Output Power-On state is
set to *RCL 0.
Data described in “Non-Volatile Settings” on page 1-21 is not affected by the *SAV
command.
The *RST command does not affect the configurations stored in memory. Once a
state is stored, it remains until it is overwritten or specifically deleted.
CAUTION This command causes a write cycle to non-volatile memory. Non-volatile memory
has a finite maximum number of write cycles. Programs that repeatedly cause write
cycles to non-volatile memory can eventually exceed the maximum number of write
cycles and cause the memory to fail.
