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 :MEM:STAT:NAME? 1 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 (“STATE_1”or “STATE_2” or “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
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 instrument 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”.
:MEM:STAT:NAME 1,TEST_WFORM1
Assigns the default name to state 1 :STATE_1
:MEM:STAT:NAME 1
Returns the name of state 0, here: “STATE_1”
:MEM:STAT:NAME? 1
