setups also require similar settings in all instrument paths. In these cases, you can
save and recall instrument and user settings, and possibly other related data.
In each of these cases, you can create a file with the complete instrument settings or
you can choose to save only the settings belonging to a particular digital standard. The
instrument uses a similar save/recall principle; both ways are scope of this section.
Save/Recall the complete instrument settings
Two different methods are available for managing
complete instrument settings
:
●
Immediate (quick) Save/Recall
A defined set of instrument settings are saved or recalled quickly in just one step,
without defining a filename or storage location. This function enables a fast switch-
ing between different instrument settings.
●
Save/Recall in files with user-defined names
The defined set of instrument settings are stored to a definable storage location.
The file extension is
*.savrcltxt
.
Settings files created in this way are visible in the file system and accessible with
the supported methods for file handling.
In the general case, a recall process replaces the instruments settings with the saved
values. An exception is the frequency and level settings. During recall of the instrument
settings, it is possible to retain the current settings or to overwrite them with the stored
values.
Save/Recall the settings belonging to a firmware option
Each of the firmware option provides a special "Save/Recall" function to manage
directly the settings associated to the corresponding digital standard, e.g. all settings in
the "3GPP FDD" dialog.
The "Save/Recall" function creates files with user-defined names, predefined file exten-
sion and on a definable storage location. The files are accessible with the supported
methods for file handling.
Accessing and recalling instrument setups
