Sa ving and Recalling
States, Example
Program 5
When a t ypical sw eep, like example program 3, is set up, the
complete fron t panel state may b e sa v ed for later use in non-v olatile
memories called registers 1 through 8. This can b e done remotely as
a part of a program. Clear and reset the con troller and t yp e in the
follo wing program:
10 Source=719
20 ABORT 7
30 LOCAL 7
40 CLEAR Source
50 REMOTE Source
60 CLS
70 OUTPUT Source;"*RST;FREQ:MODE SWE;STAR 4GHZ
;STOP 5GHZ;:INIT:CONT ON"
80 OUTPUT Source;"*SAV 1"
90 CLS
100 PRINT "A sweeping state has been saved in REGISTER 1."
110 OUTPUT Source;"*RST;FREQ:CW 1.23456GHZ;:POW:LEV -1DBM"
120 OUTPUT Source;"*SAV 2"
130 PRINT "A CW state has been saved in REGISTER 2."
140 PRINT "..... Press Continue"
150 PAUSE
160 OUTPUT Source;"*RCL 1"
170 PRINT "Register 1 recalled. Verify source is sweeping."
180 PRINT "Press Continue."
190 PAUSE
200 OUTPUT Source;"*RCL 2"
210 PRINT "Register 2 recalled."
220 PRINT "Verify source is in CW mode."
230 END
Run the program.
