Save instrument in ￿le number 3.

Description The SAVES command saves the current spectrum-analyzer state in a state-register ￿le, speci￿ed by a number. Information saved includes all

front-panel settings and any text in the title line. SAVES stores ￿les in user memory, which is the currently selected mass storage device. Unless speci￿ed otherwise by the MSI command, internal memory is the storage device. Files are listed in the catalog by default as \s N", where N is the number of the ￿le and \s " indicates the ￿le contains an instrument state. For example, the entry for SAVES 2 is listed in the catalog as \s 2". Use the PREFX command to change the \s " pre￿x from its default setting to another combination of

letters. (Press NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNState , NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNrecall , NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNcatalog & MSI to view the catalog of user

memory.)

Use the RCLS or LOAD command to recall ￿le contents. Use PURGE or DISPOSE to erase ￿les. Use PROTECT or PSTATE to prevent inadvertent ￿le erasure from internal memory only.
