MEMory Subsystem

MEMory Subsystem

The purpose of the MEMory subsystem is to manage instrument memory. This specifically excludes memory used for mass storage which is defined in the MMEMory Subsystem.

Install Application

:MEMory:INSTall:APPLication <filename>

Installs the specified application from an external drive to the instrument. Each application allows you to make a specific set of measurements easily and accurately. Installation requires a

12-character license key that you received with your application. The license key number is unique to the option and instrument serial number. If it cannot be located, contact your local Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service office to re-obtain the information. (Have the instrument model number, option and serial number available.)

Access: System, Uninstall

Un-install Application

:MEMory:UNINstall:APPLication <filename>

Uninstalls (deletes) the specified application from the instrument memory. Re-installation of these programs requires a license key that can be found in the documentation. It can also be found in the System, Options information screen. Please make a note of this number as it will be needed later to re-install the application.
