Syntax

MEMory:INITialize

Description

When this command is issued, RAM is initialized according to the following algorithm:

1.RAM is initialized to the state described in MEMory:DELete. This command essentially erases any changes that have been made to RAM since the last power cycle.

2.The model number is initialized to 87130A. The serial number is initialized to USXXXXXXXX.

When equipment is manufactured by Agilent Technologies, it is given a unique serial number. A serial number label is attached to the rear panel of the module. The first six entries are the same for all identical modules; they only change when a change in the electrical or physical functionality is made. The remaining digits are assigned sequentially and are different for each instrument.

3.If the EEROM is not defective, its data is downloaded into RAM, which cancels the effect of steps 1 and 2. If the EEROM is faulty, no download is performed.

This initialization algorithm is the same algorithm used at power up to initialize RAM, except that at power up, before step three is performed, the “last state” in RAM is set to all relays OPEN. Hence, in the case of a failed EEROM, “last state” defaults to all relays OPEN.
