5.2 PROG – store and recall
There are 3 types of data which can be saved:
Programs
Data log
Measurement results
There are 100 program locations where the settings for the
entire instrument can be saved for recall at a later date.
Each of the 100 locations has an associated name of up to
20 characters that can be entered by the user to aid
identification.
Program numbers 1-4 may be recalled with a single press
of the function keys if the direct load option is selected in
the system menu (see system options).
The instrument can be restored to the factory default
settings at any time by recalling program number 0. Any
program saved to location 1 will automatically be loaded
every time the instrument is restarted. The program menu
is accessed using the PROG key. The program location can
be selected either by stepping through the program
locations in turn to see the name or by entering the
program number directly.
When storing a configuration in a program, there will be a
short pause of about 1 second if the program location had
previously been written or deleted. The process will be
very quick if the location has not been used.
When supervisor mode is disabled (see system options),
programs can only be recalled, not stored nor deleted, to
avoid accidental modification.
When recalling a program, it may be desirable for the
program to recall the selected communications interface
