Program Memory
Program Memory
The program memory temporarily stores command strings. The stored program
can be executed by using the front panel keys, or automatically when B2980 is
turned on. See “Program Key Group” on page 189 and “Start-up” on page 200.
The keys used for controlling the program memory are shown in Table 5-6. This
table also shows the status changed by pressing the program control keys.
The program memory can eliminate several processes in the program execution,
such as transferring commands, checking command syntax, and converting
commands to the internal codes. Thus, using the program memory speeds up
program execution. If frequently used command strings are stored in the program
memory, interface/computer activity is minimized.
The program memory can be defined by using SCPI commands while B2980 is in
the remote mode. See Keysight B2980B series SCPI Command Reference.
