When the REF button is pressed in either the Store or View modes, the STORE
or VIEW curve being displayed at that time is stored in the REF memory and is
displayed along with the STORE or VIEW curve as the REF (reference) curve.
This REF curve remains on the CRT when the display mode is switched between
STORE and VIEW. Thus, the REF function can be used to compare the current
STORE or VIEW curve with the STORE curve displayed when the REF button
was pressed, or to compare one VIEW curve with the current STORE curve or
another VIEW curve. The intensity of a REF curve is controlled with the REF
INTENSITY knob. When the SAVE button is pressed, the REF curve is saved in
the mass storage as a part of setup. The REF curve is removed from the CRT
either by pressing the REF button once again or by selecting the Non Store
mode.
Front panel setting information and user-entered text is saved in mass storage by
pressing the SAVE button. Pressing the RECALL button resets front panel
settings according to the stored information.
. When the position of the OUTPUTS breaker is not the same as when the
front panel settings now to be recalled were originally stored, the message
“OUTPUT UNMATCH” is displayed at the bottom left of the CRT. Switch the
OUTPUTS breaker, and press the RECALL button once again.
Pressing the SAVE button in Sweep mode saves the Sweep mode setting in mass
storage. The initial value of the Collector Supply or Step Generator output is also
stored.
3.5-inch floppy disks are easy to handle and store, but the following precautions
should be taken to protect the disk and the integrity of the data stored within it.
Do not expose the floppy disks to strong magnetic fields, and do not place them
near strongly ferromagnetic material that can be easily magnetized. If these
cautions are not observed, data may be destroyed, or errors may occur.
Do not expose floppy disks to direct sunlight or high temperatures for long
periods of time. Storage of floppy disks in extremely cold locations or subjecting
them to high humidity should also be avoided.
It is extremely important to place the floppy disks back in their cases for
long-term storage. It is also very important to attach the index label at the correct
position.
