Save and Recall Instrument State Files
The signal generator can save instrument state settings to memory. An
instrument state setting includes any instrument state that does not survive a
signal generator preset or power cycle such as frequency, amplitude,
attenuation, and other user–defined parameters. The instrument state settings
are saved in memory and organized into sequences and registers. There are 10
sequences with 100 registers per sequence available for instrument state
settings. These instrument state files are stored in the USER/STATE directory.
“Signal Generator Memory” on page 321
The save function does not store data such as Arb waveforms, table entries, list
sweep data, and so forth. The save function saves a reference to the waveform
or data file name associated with the instrument state. Use the store
commands or store softkey functions to store these data file types to the signal
generator’s memory catalog.
Before saving an instrument state that has a data file or waveform file
associated with it, store the file. For example, if you are editing a multitone arb
format, store the multitone data to a file in the signal generator’s memory
catalog (multitone files are stored in the USER/MTONE directory). Then save
the instrument state associated with that data file. The settings for the signal
generator such as frequency and amplitude and a reference to the multitone
file name will be saved in the selected sequence and register number. Refer to
the signal generator’s User’s Guide, Key and Data Field Reference, or the
signal generator’s Help hardkey for more information on the save and recall
functions.
Save and Recall SCPI Commands
The following command sequence saves the current instrument state, using
the *SAV command, in register 01, sequence 1. A comment is then added to
the instrument state.
*SAV 01,1
:MEM:STAT:COMM 01,1,"Instrument state comment"
If there is a waveform or data file associated with the instrument state, there
will be a file name reference saved along with the instrument state. However,
the waveform/data file must be stored in the signal generator’s memory
References to waveform files and some of the other data file types
mentioned in the following sections are not available for all models and
options of signal generator. Refer to the instrument’s Data Sheet for the
signal generator and options being used.
