To load a measurement configurationTo load a measurement configuration

You can quickly load a previously saved measurement configuration, saving the trouble of manually setting up the measurement parameters for each module.

1Select System from the module field.

2Select Hard Disk or Flexible Disk from the Menu field.

Your choice here depends on where you saved the configuration.

3Select Load from the disk operations field.

4Select the module for which you want to load a configuration from the module list.

You can load configurations for individual modules. The choice “System” loads only the mainframe configuration. The choice “All” loads the mainframe configuration and that of all measurement modules.

However, you can only load configurations that are defined in the configuration file itself. Thus, if you select System, then select a file that contains only an analyzer configuration, the configuration will fail.

If you save an analyzer configuration as “All,” then attempt to reload that configuration into a particular measurement module, configuration will fail. Also, configurations are slot dependent. If you save a configuration for a particular module, rearrange the modules within the HP 16500C, then try to reload the configuration, the configuration will not load.

5Specify a file name from which to load the configuration using the “from file” field.

6Select Execute.
