State

Selects State as the save type and accesses a menu that provides the options of where to save. You can
save either to a register or a file. This menu key will not actually cause the save until the location is
chosen.
Saving the state is the only way to save this exact measurement context for the current active mode. The
entire state of the active mode is saved in a way that when a recall is requested, the mode will return to as
close as possible the context in which the save occurred. This includes all settings and data for only the
current active mode.
It should be noted that the Input/Output settings will be saved when saving State, since these settings
plus the state of the mode best characterize the current context of the mode, but the mode independent
System settings will not be saved.
For rapid saving, the State menu lists registers to save to, or you can select a file to save to. Once they
select he destination of the save in the State menu, the save will occur.

Register 1 thru Register 6
Selecting any one of these register menu keys causes the State of the currently active mode to be saved to
the specified Register. The registers are provided for rapid saving and recalling, since you do not need to
specify a filename or navigate to a file. Each of the register menu keys annotates whether it is empty or at
what date and time it was last modified.
