Saving and Recalling Instrument State

Saving and Recalling Instrument State
Using the Save/Recall functions, it is possible to save instrument state from the
E5070A/E5071A to a storage medium (e.g., hard disk or floppy disk) for future use. Table
9-1 lists the available save contents.

File Compatibility in Save/Recall Operations

Unlike saving/recalling data from the same unit of E5070A/E5071A, following
compatibility issues must be considered when transferring data between multiple
E5070A/E5071A units.
1. Exchanging files between different models
2. Exchanging files between units with different options
NOTE Recalling an incompatible file will result in an error and the settings will be reset.

It is not possible to exchange files between different models, e.g., a file saved by the
E5070 cannot be loaded into the E5071A.
"State Only" files:
• A unit equipped with more ports can load a file saved from a unit with less ports.
However, the reverse is not possible.
• A unit with a source attenuator can load a file saved from a unit with no source
attenuator. However, the reverse is not possible.
File types other than "State Only":
• File exchange is not possible if the number of ports and the presence of a source
attenuator does not match between the units.
