– You can name a location from the front panel or over the remote interface but
you can recall a named state
only
from the front panel. The name can contain
up to 12 characters. The first character
must
be a letter (A-Z), but the
remaining 11 characters can be letters, numbers (0-9), or the underscore
character (“_”). Blank spaces are not allowed. An error is generated if you specify
a name with more than 12 characters.
– A Factory Reset (
*RST
command) does not affect the configurations stored in
memory. Once a state is stored, it remains until it is overwritten or specifically
deleted.
Front Panel Operation:
Store/Recall > STORE|RECALL|DELETE|RENAME|AUTO
To rename a location, select RENAME. Press the arrow keys to move the cursor to
a specific position and then turn the knob to select the desired letter or number.
To clear the name of a location, change each character to “ ^ ” (starting with the
rightmost character) and then press the left arrow key to move to the next
character.
To automatically recall a specific location when power is restored, select AUTO.
Use the knob to scroll through the available locations containing a stored state.
Remote Interface Operation:
Use the following commands to store and recall
instrument states.
*SAV {1|2|3|4|5}
*RCL {1|2|3|4|5}
To assign a user-defined name to a stored state to be recalled from the front
panel, see the following example. From the remote interface, you can only recall a
stored state using a number (1 through 5).
MEM:STAT:NAME 1,TEST_RACK_1
To configure the instrument to automatically recall location 2 when power is
restored, send the following commands.
CAUTION
For proper instrument function, Channel monitor must be turn OFF when the
state is stored and Auto recall is enabled. If the Channel monitor is turned
ON, the front panel may freeze. If the front panel is forzen, all plug-in
modules must be removed and the auto-recall function turned OFF to
restore the instrument back to its initial working state.
