The analyzer saves the state in the next available register, if you are saving to internal

instrument state on the analyzer display, each instrument state is composed of
numerous files (which can be viewed on a PC).
NOTE If you have saved enough files that you have used all the default names
(FILE00 − FILE31 for disk files, or REG1 − REG31 for memory files), you
must do one of the following to save more states:
• use another disk
• rename an existing file to make a default name available
• re-save a file/register
• delete an existing file/register
