State Storage Commands
The instrument has six storage locations in non-volatile memory to
store instrument states. The locations are numbered 0 through 5.
The instrument uses location “0” to automatically hold the state of the
instrument at power down. You can also assign a name to each of the
locations (1 through 5) for use from the front panel.
*SAV {0|1|2|3|4|5}
Store (save) the current instrument state in the specified storage
location. Any state previously stored in the same location is overwritten
(no error is generated).
You can store the instrument state in any of the six locations.
However, you can only recall a state from a location that contains
a previously stored state. You can use location “0” to store a sixth
instrument state. However, keep in mind that location “0” is
automatically overwritten when power is cycled.
The instrument stores the state of all modules including all channel
configurations, scanning setups, alarm values, and scaling values.
A Factory Reset (*RST command) does not affect the configurations
stored in memory. Once a state is stored, it remains until it is
overwritten or specifically deleted.
*RCL {0|1|2|3|4|5}
Recall the instrument state stored in the specified storage location.
You cannot recall the instrument state from a storage location that is
empty or was deleted. When shipped from the factory, storage locations
“1” through “5” are empty (location “0” has the power-on state).
You can use location “0” to store a sixth instrument state. However,
keep in mind that location “0” is automatically overwritten when
power is cycled.
Before recalling a stored state, the instrument verifies that the same
module types are installed in each slot. If a different module type is
installed, the instrument will perform the equivalent of a Card Reset
(SYSTem:CPON command) on that slot.
