MEMory

Subsystem Syntax

The MEMory subsystem controls whether memory will be non-volatile and determines the battery charge.

[:STATe] <state>

 

CHARge?

[query only]

:BATTery[:STATe]

MEMory:BATTery[:STATe] <state> enables or disables non-volatile memory. If state ON (1) is set, then measurement data will be preserved in the

HP E1429A’s internal memory when power fails or the instrument is turned off.

Note For data to be saved, MEMory:BATTery:STATe ON must be set before the readings are taken (i.e. before the INITiate:IMMediate command is sent).

Comments Executable when initiated: No

Coupled Command: Yes. The state is coupled to the maximum trigger count.

*RST Condition: not affected

Power-On condition: The factory setting for MEMory:BATTery:STATe is OFF. The battery state does not change at power-down or power-on.

Enabling the battery abbreviates the power-on selt-test. A complete self-test is executed with *TST?, which erases memory.

Example Enable memory to be non-volatile

Turn the battery on
