State Storage Commands

• When power is turned off, the function generator automatically stores 
its state in storage location “0”. You can configure the function 
generator to automatically recall the power-down state when power 
is restored. See the MEM:STAT:REC:AUTO command on page 236 for 
more information.
• The front-panel display state (DISP command) is saved when you 
store the instrument state. When you recall the instrument state, 
the front-panel display will return to the previous state. 
• An instrument reset (*RST command) does not affect the 
configurations stored in memory. Once a state is stored, it remains 
until it is overwritten or specifically deleted.
*RCL {0|1|2|3|4}
Recall the instrument state stored in the specified non-volatile storage 
location. You cannot recall the instrument state from a storage location 
that is empty. 
• When shipped from the factory, storage locations “1” through “4” are 
empty (location “0” has the power-on state).
• From the remote interface only, you can use location “0” to store a 
fifth instrument state (you cannot store to this location from the 
front panel). However, keep in mind that location “0” is automatically 
overwritten when power is cycled (the instrument state previously 
stored will be overwritten).
