How Do I Save The Present State Of The Instrument - Tektronix Keithley SourceMeter 2450 User Manual

Model 2450 SourceMeter® Instrument User's Manual
The action when the interlock signal is not asserted depends on the Interlock setting. If Interlock is set
to Off, if the safety interlock signal is not asserted, the following occurs:
•
The nominal output is limited to less than ±42 V.
•
The front-panel INTERLOCK indicator is not illuminated.
•
You can output voltages less than ±42.
If Interlock is set to On, when the safety interlock signal is not asserted, the following occurs:
•
You cannot turn on the source output.
•
The front-panel INTERLOCK indicator is not illuminated.
Whenever the interlock changes state (from asserted to not asserted or vice versa), the output is
turned off.
To recover from this error, properly engage the interlock using a safe test fixture before turning on the
2450 output.

How do I save the present state of the instrument?

You can save the settings in the instrument as a script using the front-panel menus or from a remote
interface. After they are saved, you can recall the script or copy it to a USB flash drive.
From the front panel:
1. Configure the 2450 to the settings that you want to save.
2. Press the MENU key.
3. Under Scripts, select Create Setup.
4. Select Create. A keyboard is displayed.
5. Use the keyboard to enter the name of the script.
6. Select the OK button on the displayed keyboard. The script is added to internal memory.
Using SCPI commands:
Configure the instrument to the settings that you want to save. To save the setup, send the
command:
*SAV <n>
Where <n> is an integer from 0 to 4.
In the front-panel script menus, the setups saved with the *SAV command have the name Setup0x,
where x is the value you set for <n>.
