programs may be saved in nonvolatile memory for later recall. This allows multiple transient list
programs to be recalled quickly without the need to enter all parameters each time. Transient lists are
stored as part of the overall instrument front panel setup in any of the available setup registers.
To save the transient list you created in the previous example, proceed as follows:
1. Press the Menu key repeatedly until the REGISTERS / CONFIGURATION menu is displayed.
2. Move the cursor to the REGISTERS entry and press the ENTER key.
3. The cursor will default to the SAVE REGISTER # position. Enter a number from 1 through 15 and
press the ENTER key. DO NOT USE REGISTER 0 (REG0) as it is reserved for power-on setting
recall and does not include a transient list.
