10 - Storing and Recalling Instrument States
You can save up to 4 states (from location 0 to location 3) in non-volatile memory and recall them from
the front panel. All programmable settings are saved. This capability is only available when the unit is set
to the SCPI programming language.
NOTE: You can program the unit to automatically power-on according to the instrument state
that is saved in state 0 as shown in the third example.
Save an instrument state in location 0 as follows:

1. Set the instrument to the state that you want to save.
2. Save this state to location 0. Press Save, Enter Number, 0, Enter. *SAV 0
Recall a saved state as follows:
Action Display

2. Use the # and & keys to select either RST or RCL0. RST sets the power-on state of
the unit as defined by the *RST command. RCL0 sets the power-on state of the unit to
the state saved in *RCL location 0. Press Enter when done.
Clear the non-volatile memory of the dc source as follows:
Action Display
