What You Can Save to a Computer

Instrument states can be saved to and recalled from an external computer (system controller) using HP-IB mnemonics. For more information about the specific analyzer settings that can be saved, refer to the output commands located in the “Command Reference” chapter of the HP 8753E Network Analyzer Programmer’s Guide. For an example program, refer to “Saving and Recalling Instruments States” in the “Programming Examples” chapter of the
