7 Save/Recall/Print
7.3 Save
7.3.3.2 Register 1 thru Register 16
Selecting any one of these register buttons causes the specified trace(s) and the
state of the currently active mode to be saved to the specified register. The registers
are provided for rapid saving and recalling, since you do not need to specify a
filename or navigate to a file. Each of the register menu keys annotates whether it is
empty or at what date and time it was last modified. In addition, you can edit any of
the register names to enter custom names for any register.
There is one set of 16 trace+state registers in the instrument, not one set for each
Mode. When trace+state is saved, the Mode it was saved from is saved with it; then
when it is recalled, the instrument switches to that Mode.
NOTE
In products that run multiple simultaneous instances of the X-Series Application,
all instances share the same registers and file directories, so take care not to
overwrite files and/or registers from one instance that were saved by another
instance.
The date displayed follows the format specified in the Date Format setting in Control
Panel. The time shows hours and minutes.
After the save completes, the corresponding register menu key annotation is
updated with the date and time and the message Register <register number>
saved is displayed.
Example
*SAV 1
Range 1-16
7.3.3.3 Edit Register Names
You may enter a custom name for any of the registers, to help you remember what
you are using that trace+state to save. To do this, press the Name field for the
register you want to rename, which displays the onscreen alpha keyboard. Press the
Done button on this keyboard when you are done editing.
The maximum number of characters for a register name is 30. If you delete all the
characters in the custom name, it restores the default (time and date).
The register names are stored within the trace+state files, but they are not part of
the instrument state; that is, once you have edited a register name, loading a new
state does not change that register name. Another consequence of this is that the
names are persistent through a power cycle. Also, if a named state file is transferred
to another instrument, it brings its custom name along with it.
