Menu preferences are not normally retained after the power is
removed from the instrument. To make (a) menu preference(s)
permanent, make the desired change(s) to settings first and
then proceed to the section Storing the Menu Preferences to
make the changes permanent. Following this procedure will
put the settings into non-volatile memory and allow them to
be restored during instrument power-up.
Description
After the user has set up the 1256 Switching System, the setup may
be stored in non-volatile (flash) RAM. Later, the user may recall this
setup to instantly restore the 1256 to the same state it was in earlier.
The STORE/RECALL menu contains the functions used for doing
this.
The non-volatile RAM can store two types of setup information:
switching states and menu preferences.
Storing the Switching State
The switching state includes the positions (closed or open) of all
relays.
The 1256 stores the states of all plug-ins together as a single state.
When a switching state is recalled, it automatically restores the
states of all relays on all installed plug-ins.
The 1256 can store up to 100 switching states, or presets, plus an
additional state that is restored automatically when the power is
turned on.
After storing the switch state, the non-volatile image must be
written to non-volatile RAM. Refer to the section Updating Non-
Volatile RAM for instructions.
