Chapter 3, Operating Overview
Saving and Recalling Instrument Setups
Saving and Recalling Instrument Setups
The save and recall functions allow you to store different instrument setups and
retrieve them later, eliminating the task of re-configuring the Test Set.
The number of available save registers depends on how many changes were made
to the BASE instrument setup for each save. (See
"Specifying BASE Settings" on
page 64
.) The smaller the number of changes, the greater the number of SAVE
registers that can be used (typically over 200).
SAVE/RECALL register settings can be saved to several types of mass storage.
This allows you to “back up” the settings in case you need to clear them from
memory (see
"Memory Considerations" on page 64
) for running large programs, or
when a firmware upgrade is performed.
To Save an Instrument Setup
1. Press and release the Shift key, then the Previous key to access the I/O CONFIGURE
screen. Select the storage media using the
Save/Recall
field. (The default storage
media is internal memory.)
2. Make any changes to the instrument that you want to save in a register.
3. Press and release the Shift key, then the Recall key to select the SAVE function.
4. Use the Data keys or the
Save:
menu at the bottom right of the screen to enter the save
register name.
Front-Panel Example
This example saves the current instrument settings.
1. Press and release the Shift key, then the Recall key to select the SAVE function. A
prompt appears at the top of the screen asking you to enter a name.
2. Using the Data keys, enter 123, then press the Enter key to assign a name.
GPIB Example
The following GPIB command also SAVES the current instrument settings.
“REG:SAVE 123”
