Meaning and Type
SAVE Device State
Description
This command stores the present state of the power supply to the specified location in memory. Up to four states can be
stored. Under certain conditions (see "Turn-On Conditions" in "Chapter 5 - Front Panel Operation" of the Operating
Guide), location 0 may hold the device state that is automatically recalled at power turn-on.
The following power supply parameters are stored by *SAV:
CURR[:LEV][:IMM] OUTP[:STAT] OUTP:REL:POL
CURR:PROT:STAT OUTP:PROT:DEL VOLT[:LEV][:IMM]
DIG:DATA[:VAL] OUTP:REL[:STAT] VOLT:PROT[:LEV]
Command Syntax *SAV <NRf>
Parameters 0|1|2|3
Example SAV 3
Query Syntax (None)
Related Commands *RCL *RST
The power supply uses nonvolatile memory for recording register states. Programs that repeatedly use
*SAV for recalling states cause frequent write cycles to the memory and can eventually exceed the
maximum number of write cycles for the memory (see in the power supply Operating Guide).
