Chapter 1. Programming Site Data
1.8.7 Saving Site Data
The currently programmed site data may be stored in the Model GS868’s non-volatile memory by saving it as a site
file. Up to ten site file names, consisting of up to five characters each, may be stored at any given time.
To enter the
SAVE menu, press [F4] at the initial
User Program screen. Refer to Figure 13 on page 85.
1. Enter a new site file name and press [ENT] , or use the

]
,
 
] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select and overwrite an
existing site file.
Note:
The option bar will show only as many choices as there are existing site files.
If ten site files are already stored in memory, an existing site file must be deleted before a new site file name can be
assigned. See Chapter 5,
Clearing Data, for details.
When a site file is stored in memory, it becomes the active site file until another site file is created or retrieved. (See
the next section for instructions on retrieving a site file.) To verify that the site file has been saved, use the

] key to
scroll back to the SITE NAME prompt and see if the name appears on the option bar (use the

]
and


] keys to
scroll through the list, if necessary). Whenever a new site file name is saved, it is automatically assigned to the next
available function key.
IMPORTANT: The CLOCK and I/O data is not saved with the site file, while the SYSTM and COMM data is saved with the
site file.
2. Use the

] and


] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select another menu, or press [EXIT] to leave the
User Program and
return to measurement mode.
1.8.8 Recalling a Site
Any site file currently stored in the Model GS868’s non-volatile memory may be recalled at any time. Up to ten site file
names, consisting of up to five characters each, may be stored at any given time. To enter the RECLL menu, press [
?
and [F1] at the initial User Program screen.
1. Use the

]
,


] and [F1]-[F4] keys to select and recall an existing site file.
Note: The option bar shows only as many choices as there are existing site files. The files are listed in chronological
order by creation date.
Upon recall, the selected site file becomes active and all of its programmed parameters become current.
IMPORTANT: The CLOCK and I/O data is not recalled with the site file, while the SYSTM and COMM data is recalled
with the site file.
Note:
If you have loaded a site file into a GS868, but the option cards are not in the same slots or programmed the
same way as when the site file was first saved, the GS868 displays a warning to review slot information. This
display does not mean that the option cards have lost their program information!
Use the




return to measurement mode.
