Saving and Recalling Settings Files – SAVE/RCL Key
The [SAVE/RCL] key is used to store and recall an instrument configuration.
The "Save/Recall" menu enables the user to save or recall the configuration file from
the instrument’s internal storage, a memory stick or a network drive. The file can also
include various settings used by the options installed on the instrument. Measurement
results can also be stored; however, it is strongly recommended that you use the "Print
Screen" or "Trace Export" functions instead.
When recalling a saved configuration file, the following restrictions apply:
●
Configuration files cannot be transferred from an R&S
ESRP with a larger fre-
quency range to one with a smaller frequency range
●
Configuration files created on a R&S
ESRP with certain options in use will not work
on an R&S
ESRP without these options
●
Files created with newer firmware versions may not work with a previous version
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) it is anticipated 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 recal-
led and applied to the measurement. In the "Transducer" dialog box, however, the
changed
transducer file values are displayed as no updated transducer file was loa-
ded.
The same applies to limit line settings.
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 and toggle the "X-Axis" option from "lin" to "log" and back. Due
to that change, the transducer file is automatically reloaded, and the changed trans-
ducer values are applied to the current measurement. Now you can create a new save
set with the updated transducer 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
on page 187) 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.
