Save
Allows you to save the current state of the instrument to non-volatile memory, so that the
saved state can subsequently be restored. The 2500B contains ten registers, numbered 0 through 9,
in which instrument states can be saved. Note that saving an instrument state to a given register
overwrites any state that might have previously been stored in that register.
To save the current instrument configuration to a given register;
1.
Select the Save menu item
2.
Use the numeric keypad to enter the number of the register into which you wish to save the
configuration (the step up/step down buttons and rotary knob cannot be used for this).
3.
Press any Units button.
Recall
This menu item allows you to recall a previously saved instrument state from any of the ten
storage registers contained in the instrument’s non-volatile memory.
The parameter area in the display shows the following text:
From Register (X)
Where
X
is the list of registers, separated by commas that currently have an instrument state saved
in them. For example, if instrument states are currently stored in registers 1, 2, and 5, the
parameter area would read as follows:
From Register (1, 2, 5)
If none of the registers have instrument states saved to them, as would be the case after the
instrument’s memory is cleared, the following is displayed in the parameter area:
No register has been saved
To recall a previously saved instrument configuration, press the Recall softkey, enter the number of
the register from which you wish to recall the configuration using the numeric keypad, and then
press any units button.
Only the numeric keypad can be used to enter a register number; the step up/step down buttons
and rotary knob cannot be used.
