Remote Operation
:SAVE
:SAVE
Syntax
MEMory:SAVE
Description
This command copies the RAM image to the EEROM. Care should be taken
to do this only when necessary, due to the limited life of the EEROM. (Refer
to
DIAG:EEROM:CYCLES?). Because this is time consuming (over a minute in
some cases), it is made to turn on the switching light while saving. The
CALIBRATING bit in the OPER status register is set when a save begins
and cleared when it ends.
*OPC can also be used to detect the end of a save.
The following data will be saved:
the VERIFY list
the DRIVE list
the PFAIL list
the serial number and model number
the WIDTH and DELAY times for all switches
all GROUP data, including group names, titles, AUTOSELECT state
what PATHs are in each group
all PATH data, including path names, titles, and values
what channels are in each PATH
In addition, in the last state list will be saved:
the current state of all switches in the DRIVE list
the programmed state of all switches not in the DRIVE list
If you know that you have performed a valid
SAVE to the EEROM (one that
was not interrupted by turning off power and which did not generate an
error), and you subsequently get an
EEROM invalid error message, you
should replace the EEROM.
