Usage

:MMEMory:LOAD:SETup <fileName>

A string that contains a name for the imported setup (maximum 8 characters)

Detail

This command allows you to recall the specified setup in the external USB flash drive to the
instrument.

Make sure that the external USB flash drive is connected to the instrument before you send this

command. An unstable connection between the USB flash drive and the instrument will cause an

error 520: "No USB flash drive found."
