Program Memory

Program Memory
The program memory stores command strings temporarily. The stored program can
be executed by using the front panel keys, or automatically when B2961A/B2962A
is turned on. See "Program key group" on page 4-41
The keys used for controlling the program memory are shown in
table also shows the status changed by pressing the program control keys.
The program memory can eliminate several processes in the program execution,
such as transferring commands, checking command syntax, and converting
commands to the internal codes. Thus, using the program memory speeds up
program execution. If frequently used command strings are stored in the program
memory, interface/computer activity is minimized.
The program memory can be defined by using SCPI commands while
B2961A/B2962A is in the remote mode. See Keysight B2961A/B2962A SCPI
