State Storage Commands

MEMory:STATe

:NAME {12345} [,<name>] :NAME? {12345}

Assign a name to the specified storage location (you cannot assign a name to location “0”). You can name a location from the front panel or over the remote interface but you can only recall a named state from the front panel. From the remote interface, you can only recall a stored state using a number (0 through 5). The :NAME? query returns a quoted string containing the name currently assigned to the specified storage location. If the specified location has no name assigned, an empty string (“ ”) is returned.

•The name can contain up to 12 characters. The first character must be a letter (A-Z), but the remaining 11 characters can be letters, numbers (0-9), or the underscore character (“ _ ”). Blank spaces are not allowed. An error is generated if you specify a name with more than 12 characters. An example is shown below.

MEM:STATE:NAME 1,TEST_RACK_1

•If you do not specify a name (note that the name parameter is optional), no name is assigned to that state. This provides a way to erase a name (however, the stored state is not deleted).

MEMory:STATe:DELete {012345}

Delete the contents of the specified storage location. If you have named a storage location (MEM:STAT:NAME command), this command does not remove the name that you assigned. Note that you cannot recall the instrument state from a storage location that was deleted. An error is generated if you attempt to recall a deleted state.
