Using the Memory Options
The option called MEM is a 10-step memory, which allows you to program
up to 10 output levels. These levels may be recalled speedily from either the
front panel or by the rear panel mounted contact closure input.
The ten memory steps are automatically stored in electronic nonvolatile
memory. Thus, the stored data are maintained during removal of power
from the instrument, including discharge of the internal battery.
Memory Organization
The memory steps are numbered (in order) from 0 to 9 inclusive. Each of the
10 programmable memory steps may contain the following data:
•
Whether the step is Active or Inactive. If a step is flagged as Inactive, the
remaining data within the step is maintained but a recall of the memory
steps will skip this step.
•
The required output level multiplier to be used for display.
•
The required output units.
•
Any output within the capability of the instrument may be programmed.
The multiplier used during the entry (if any) will be used to format the
displayed output level when recalled.
•
Whether the output is to be placed in the “Operate” or “Standby” state
when the step is recalled.
