State Storage Commands

MEMory:STATe

:NAME {12345} [,<z >] :NAME? {12345}

Assign a name to the specified storage location (you cannot assign a name to location “0”). You can name a location from the front panel or over the remote interface but you can only recall a named state from the front panel. From the remote interface, you can only recall a stored state using a number (0 through 5). The :NAME? query returns a quoted string containing the name currently assigned to the specified storage location. If the specified location has no name assigned, an empty string (“ ”) is returned.

∙The name can contain up to 12 characters. The first character be a letter (A-Z), but the remaining 11 characters can be letters, numbers (0-9), or the underscore character (“ _ ”). Blank spaces are not allowed. An error is generated if you specify a name with more than 12 characters. An example is shown below.

MEM:STATE:NAME 1,TEST_RACK_1

∙ If you do not specify a name (note that the parameter is optional), no name is assigned to that state. This provides a way to

erase a name (however, the stored state deleted).

MEMory:STATe:DELete {012345}

Delete the contents of the specified storage location. If you have named a storage location (MEM:STAT:NAME command), this command yz remove the name that you assigned. Note that you cannot recall the instrument state from a storage location that was deleted. An error is generated if you attempt to recall a deleted state.
