Saving and Recalling Instrument Setups

Saving and Recalling Instrument Setups

The save and recall functions allow you to store different instrument setups and retrieve them later, eliminating the task of re-configuring the Test Set.

The number of available save registers depends on how many changes were made to the base instrument setup for each save. (See “BASE Settings” on page 72.) The smaller the number of changes, the greater the number of save registers that can be used (typically over 200).

Save/Recall register settings can be saved to internal RAM or to a PC card. Saving registers to a PC card allows you to “back up” the settings in case you need to clear them from memory for running large programs, or when a firmware upgrade is performed (see “Memory Considerations” on page 72).

To save an instrument setup

Step 1. Go to the I/O CONFIGURE screen.

Step 2. Select the storage media using the Save/Recall field. (The default is internal memory.)

Step 3. Make any changes to the instrument that you want to save in a register.

Step 4. Press and release the Shift key then the Recall key to access the Save function.

Step 5. Use the DATA ENTRY keys or the Save: menu to enter the register’s name.

To recall an instrument setup

Step 1. Select the I/O CONFIGURE screen.

Step 2. Select the media to recall settings from using the Save/Recall field. The default is internal memory.

Step 3. Press Recall.

Step 4. Use the knob to select the desired setup to be recalled from the Recall menu.
