Basic Operation

Using Security Functions

4.Press Select Reg and enter the register number you want to delete.

Notice that the Delete Seq[n] Reg[nn] should be loaded with the sequence and register you want to delete.

5.Press Delete Seq[n] Reg[nn].

This deletes the chosen register.

Deleting All Registers within a Sequence

1.Press Preset.

2.Press the Recall or Save hardkey.

Notice that the Select Seq softkey shows the last sequence that you used.

3. Press Select Seq and enter the sequence number containing the registers you want to delete.

4.Press Delete all Regs in Seq[n].

This deletes all registers in the selected sequence.

Deleting All Sequences

CAUTION Be sure you want to delete the contents of all registers and all sequences in the instrument state register.

1.Press Preset.

2.Press the Recall or Save hardkey.

Notice that the Select Seq softkey shows the last sequence that you used.

3.Press Delete All Sequences.

This deletes all of the sequences saved in the instrument state register.

8757 Network Analyzer Save and Recall Functions

The 8757 network analyzer family can save and recall signal generator instrument states although communication between the instruments is limited.

A clear register command from the 8757 will cause the signal generator to replace a register’s contents with default values. Default values can be cleared from the signal generator by using the Delete All softkey menu or by using the corresponding SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) command.

The signal generator does not communicate directly with the 8757 network analyzer. If the 8757 saves an instrument state to a signal generator register and the user deletes that register, the 8757 will not recognize the deletion. An attempt, by the 8757, to recall a deleted state will cause the PSG to generate the error message: +700 “State Save Recall Error...”.
