State Storage Commands

MEMory:STATe:NAME {0|1|2|3|4} [,<name>]
MEMory:STATe:NAME? {0|1|2|3|4}
Assign a custom name to the specified storage location. You can name a
location from the front panel or over the remote interface, but you can
only recall a state by name from the front panel (the *RCL command
requires a numeric parameter). The :NAME? query returns a quoted
string containing the name currently assigned to the specified storage
location. If you have not assigned a user-defined name to the specified
location, the default name is returned (“AUTO_RECALL”, “STATE_1”,
“STATE_2”, “STATE_3”, or “STATE_4”).
• The name can contain up to 12 characters. The first character must
be a letter (A-Z), but the remaining characters can be letters,
numbers (0-9), or the underscore character (“ _ ”). Blank spaces are
not allowed. An error is generated if you specify a name with more
than 12 characters. An example is shown below.
MEM:STATE:NAME 1,TEST_WFORM_1
• From the front panel, you cannot assign a custom name to storage
location “0”.
• If you do not specify a name (note that the name parameter is
optional), the default name is assigned to that state. This provides a
way to clear a name (however, the stored state is not deleted).
• The function generator will not prevent you from assigning the same
name to different storage locations. For example, you can assign the
same name to locations “1” and “2”.
MEMory:STATe:DELete {0|1|2|3|4}
Delete the contents of the specified storage location. If you have assigned
a user-defined name to a location (MEM:STAT:NAME command), this
command also removes the name that you assigned and restores the
default name (“AUTO_RECALL”, “STATE_1”, “STATE_2”, etc.). Note that
you cannot recall
the instrument state from a storage location that is
empty. An error is generated if you attempt to recall a deleted state.
