Front Panel Operation: Store/Recall > STORE|RECALL|DELETE|RENAME|AUTO
To rename a location, select RENAME. Press the arrow keys to move the
cursor to a specific position and then turn the knob to select the desired
letter or number. To clear the name of a location, change each character
to “ ^” (starting with the rightmost character) and then press the left
arrow key to move to the next character.
To automatically recall a specific location when power is restored,
select AUTO. Use the knob to scroll through the available locations
containing a stored state.
Remote Interface Operation: Use the following commands to store and
recall instrument states.
*SAV {1|2|3|4|5}
*RCL {1|2|3|4|5}
To assign a user-defined name to a stored state to be recalled from the
front panel, see the following example. From the remote interface, you can
only recall a stored state using a number (1 through 5).
MEM:STAT:NAME 1,TEST_RACK_1
To configure the instrument to automatically recall location 2 when power
is restored, send the following commands.

Error Conditions
When the front panel ERROR annunciator turns on, one or more command
syntax or hardware errors have been detected. A record of up to 20 errors
can be stored in the instrument’s error queue. Each remote interface I/O
session (i.e., GPIB, USB, LAN, etc.) has its own interface- specific error
queue. Errors appear in the error queue of the I/O session that caused
the error (the front panel reports errors from all I/O sessions).
For a complete listing of the error messages, see the Agilent 34980A
Programmer’s Reference Help file, located on the Product Reference
CD- ROM. The CD- ROM is located inside the rear cover of this manual.
• The instrument beeps once each time a command syntax or hardware
error is generated.
• A special global error queue holds all power-on and hardware-related
errors (e.g., over-temperature, Safety Interlock, etc.).
