Configurable Save/Recall - a user-defined set of instrument settings or channels
are stored to a definable storage location
Restrictions when recalling measurement settings
When recalling a saved configuration file, the following restrictions apply:
●
The R&S
FSV/A must support the frequency range defined in the configuration file.
●
Configuration files created on a R&S
FSV/A with certain options in use do not work
on an R&S
FSV/A without these options.
●
Files created with newer firmware versions may not work with a previous version.
●
Files created on an instrument other than the R&S
FSV/A do not work on the
R&S
FSV/A.
Saving instrument settings in secure user mode
Be sure to store instrument settings that you require beyond the current session before
Chapter 3.2.15, "Protecting data using the secure
Settings that are saved via QuickSave in secure user mode are only available during
the current session. As soon as the power is switched off on the R&S
FSV/A, the data
is cleared.
Saving and recalling transducer and limit line settings
If a transducer file was in use when the save set was stored (with the save item "Cur-
rent Settings" only) the R&S
FSV/A assumes that these transducer values should
remain valid after every recall of that save set. Thus, even if the transducer file is
changed and the original save set file is recalled later, the
originally stored
transducer
values are recalled and applied to the measurement. In the "Edit" transducer dialog
box, however, the
changed
transducer file values are displayed, as no updated trans-
ducer file was loaded.
The same applies to limit line settings.
The same applies to integrated measurements' weighting filter.
If you want to apply the changed transducer values after recalling the save set, you
must force the application to reload the transducer file. To do so, simply open the "Edit
Transducer" dialog box (see
Chapter 10.5.2, "Transducer settings"
toggle the "X-Axis" option from "Lin" to "log" and back. Due to that change, the trans-
ducer file is automatically reloaded, and the changed transducer values are applied to
the current measurement. Now you can create a new save set with the updated trans-
ducer values.
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 7.4.2.2, "Limit line settings and functions"
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.
