How to Save and Load Instrument Settings
Instrument settings can be saved to a file and loaded again later, so that you can
repeat the measurement with the same settings. Optionally, user-defined measurement
settings can automatically be restored each time you start or preset the instrument.
To save and recall instrument settings using the Quick Save function
1. Select the "Save" icon from the toolbar.
2. Select whether the instrument settings for
all
"Channel" s are stored, or only those
for the
current
"Channel" .
3. Select one of the save sets in which the settings are stored ( "QuickSaveX" ).
The selected settings are stored to the file
C:\R_S\INSTR\QuickSave\QuickSaveX.dfl
.
Note:
If you make any changes to the settings
after
storing the configuration file,
remember to save the settings again. Otherwise those settings cannot be restored
and will be overwritten by the stored values when the configuration file is recalled.
