Basic Operation

Using Data Storage Functions

Using the Instrument State Register

The instrument state register is a section of memory divided into 10 sequences (numbered 0 through 9) each containing 100 registers (numbered 00 through 99). It is used to store and recall instrument settings. It provides a quick way to reconfigure the signal generator when switching between different signal configurations. Once an instrument state has been saved, you can recall the instrument settings for that state with minimum effort.

NOTE

List sweep data is not saved within an instrument state. For instructions on saving list sweep

 

data, see “Storing Files to the Memory Catalog” on page 53.

 

 

Saving an Instrument State

1.Preset the signal generator, then enables amplitude modulation (the AM annunciator will turn on):

a.Press Frequency > 800 > MHz.

b.Press Amplitude > 0 > dBm.

c.Press AM > AM Off On.

2.Press Save > Select Seq.

The sequence number becomes the active function. The signal generator displays the last sequence used. Using the arrow keys, set the sequence to 1.

3.Press Select Reg.

The register number in sequence 1 becomes the active function. The signal generator displays either the last register used accompanied by the text: (in use), or (if no registers are in use) register 00 accompanied by the text: (available). Use the arrow keys to select register 01.

4.Press Save Seq[1] Reg[01].

This saves this instrument state in sequence 1, register 01 of the instrument state register.

5.Press Add Comment to Seq[1] Reg[01].

This enables you to add a descriptive comment to sequence 1 register 01.

6.Using the alphanumeric softkeys or the knob, enter a comment and press Enter.

7.Press Edit Comment In Seq[1] Reg[01].

If you wish, you can now change the descriptive comment for sequence 1 register 01.

After making changes to an instrument state, you can save it back to a specific register by highlighting that register and pressing Re-SAVE Seq[n] Reg[nn].
