When used in conjunction with the commands, the parameter <file_name> is speci-
fied as a string parameter with quotation marks. It can contain either the complete path
including the drive, only the path and the file name, or only the file name. The file name
must include the file extension. The same applies for the parameters
<directory_name> and <path>.
Depending on how much information is provided, either the values specified in the
parameter or the values specified with the command MMEM:CDIR (default directory)
are used for the path and the drive settings in the commands.
Before the instrument settings can be stored in a file, they have to be stored in an inter-
mediate memory using common command *SAV <number>. The specified number is
subsequently used in the :MMEMory:STORe:STATe on page 264 command. Also,
subsequently to loading a file with instrument settings with command :MMEMory:
LOAD:STATe on page 263, these settings have to be activated with the common com-
mand *RCL <number>.
