Using Data Storage Functions

This section explains how to use the two forms of signal generator data storage: the memory catalog and the
instrument state register.

Using the Memory Catalog

The Memory Catalog is the signal generator's interface for viewing, storing, and saving files; it can be
accessed through the signal generator's front panel or a remote controller. (For information on performing
these tasks remotely, see the Programming Guide.)
