*SAV
Syntax
*SAV {0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4}
Description
This command stores (saves) the current instrument state in the specified storage location. Any state pre-
viously stored in the same location is overwritten (no error is generated).
Use the *RCL command to recall a stored instrument state.
Remarks
l The instrument has five storage locations in non-volatile memory to store instrument states. The instru-
ment uses location 0 to automatically hold the state of the instrument at power off. You can store the
instrument state in location 1, 2, 3, or 4, but you can only recall a state from a location that contains a
previously stored state. You can use location 0 to store a fifth instrument state, but keep in mind that
location 0 is automatically overwritten when power is cycled.
l When shipped from the factory, storage locations 1 through 4 are empty and the instrument is con-
figured to automatically recall the power-down state (location 0) when power is restored. You can
change the factory configuration such that a Factory Reset (*RST command) is issued when power is
restored.
l The instrument states are stored in non-volatile memory and do not change when power has been off,
after a Factory Reset (*RST command), or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
l The MEMory:STATe:DELete and MEMory:STATe:DELete:ALL commands delete, but do not sanitize,
stored states.
l SYSTem:SECurity:IMMediate command deletes and sanitizes all stored states.
Examples
The following example stores the current instrument state in location 1.
