To learn a new program, select the {learn} option and, using the number-entry key, input the
number of the program to be learnt. Then enter the program ‘learn’ mode by following this
sequence:
PROGRAM (n) {learn}
ENTER
PROGRAM n learn mode{ }

Enter a program by setting up menus in the normal way and pressing action keys when
required. Instead of interpreting the set-ups or keys in the normal way, the 1253 interprets
each entry as a program instruction and, when the program is executed, each instruction is
executed in the order in which it was entered.
Pressing an action key will generally display the remote command code for that key on-
display to confirm the entry. However, in the program ‘learn’ mode some action keys have
functions that differ from their normal operation.
a.
RECYCLE provides two options for the ANALYZER. These are selected by the
repeated presses of the key and finally the ENTER key. {recycle} instructs the Analyzer
to perform a series of pre-arranged measurements (generally a SWEEP) or to take
measurements continuously. If the latter is selected, the measurements can be stopped
only by front panel action (press RECYCLE). {STOP} is used to ensure the Analyzer is
stopped before executing the next instruction.
