Saving and Recalling
States, Example
Program 5
When a typical sweep, like example program 3, is set, up, the
complete front panel state may be saved for later use in non-volatile
memories called registers 1 through 8. This can be done remotely as
a part of a program. Clear and reset the controller and type in the
following program:
10 Source=719
20 ABORT 7
30 LOCAL 7
40 CLEAR Source
50 REMOTE Source
60
70 OUTPUT Source;"*RST;FREQ:MODE SWE;STAR 4GHZ
80
OUTPUT Source;"*SAV 1"
90
100
PRINT "A sweeping state has been saved in REGISTER 1."
110 OUTPUT Source;"*RST;FREQ:CW 1.23456GHZ;:POW:LEV -1DBM"
120 OUTPUT Source;"*SAV 2"
130 PRINT "A CW state has been saved in REGISTER 2."
140 PRINT II..... Press Continue"
150 PAUSE
160 OUTPUT Source;"*RCL 1"
170 PRINT "Register 1 recalled. Verify source is sweeping."
180 PRINT "Press Continue."
190 PAUSE
200 OUTPUT Source;"*RCL 2"
210 PRINT "Register 2 recalled."
220
PRINT "Verify source is in CW mode."
230 END
Run the program.
