Saving and recalling transducer and limit line settings
If a limit lines file was in use when the save set was stored (with the save item "Current
Settings" only) the R&S
FSPN assumes that these limit lines values should remain
valid after every recall of that save set. Thus, even if the limit lines file is changed and
the original save set file is recalled later, the
originally stored limit lines values are
recalled and applied to the measurement. In the "Edit" limit lines dialog box, however,
the
changed limit lines file values are displayed, as no updated limit lines file was loa-
ded.
The same applies to limit line settings.
The same applies to integrated measurements' weighting filter.
Similarly, if you want to apply the changed limit values after recalling the save set, you
must force the application to reload the limit file. To do so, simply open the "Edit Limit
Line" dialog box (see
Chapter 7.5.2, "Limit Line Settings and Functions" , on page 177)
and toggle the "Y-Axis" unit. Due to that change, the limit line file is automatically
reloaded, and the changed limit values are applied to the current measurement. Now a
new save set with the updated limit values can be created.

8.2.1 Quick Save/Quick Recall
The "Quick Save" and "Quick Recall" functions allow you to store instrument settings or
channels very easily and quickly in one step. Up to ten different sets of settings can be
stored to or recalled from "save sets". Each save set is identified by its storage date
and type (instrument or specific "Channel" ) in the display. The save sets are stored in
the
C:\R_S\INSTR\QuickSave
directory, in files named
QuickSave1.dfl
to
QuickSave10.dfl
. Only the current measurement settings are stored, not any addi-
tional data such as traces, limit line or transducer files (see Chapter 8.2.2.1, "Stored
Data Types" , on page 189). Source calibration files for an optional external generator, if
available, are included.
During recall, save sets of type "Instrument" replace the settings of the entire instru-
ment. All other save sets start a new channel with the stored settings.
If a channel with the same name as the "Channel" to be restored is already active, the
name for the new channel is extended by a consecutive number:
8.2.1.1 Quick Save / Quick Recall Settings
Access : "Save" / "Open" icon in the toolbar > "Quick Save" / "Quick Recall"
Both dialog boxes are very similar and closely related.
