PSM1700 PsimetriQ user manual

4.2 Program store and recall
There are 100 non-volatile 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 number 1 (if not empty) is loaded when the
instrument is powered on, so that PsimetriQ can be set to
a user defined state whenever it is switched on. This is
particularly useful to set system options such as phase
convention. If no settings have been stored in program 1
then the factory default settings are loaded (program
number 0).
Program numbers 1-6 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.
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
slight pause (of about 1 second) if the program has
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.
