Save
Trace+State state file.
A saved state contains all of the settings and data required to return the analyzer as closely as possible to
the exact setup it had when the save occurred. This includes the Input/Output settings, even though they
are outside of the Mode’s state, because they are needed to restore the complete setup. A Trace+State
file also includes trace data from one trace or all traces, which will load in View mode when the
Trace+State file is recalled.
After the save completes, the message "File <filename> saved" or "Trace Register <register number>
saved" is displayed.
For rapid saves, the Trace (+State) menu lists 5 registers to save to. Pressing a Register key initiates the
save. You can also select a file to save to.
The default path for all State Files including .trace files is:
My Documents\<mode name>\state
where <mode name> is the parameter used to select the mode with the INST:SEL command (for
example, SA for the Spectrum Analyzer).
This key is grayed out for measurements that do not support trace saves. It is blanked for modes that do
not support trace saves. Saving Trace is identical to saving State except a .trace extension is used on the
file instead of .state, and internal flags are set in the file indicating which trace was saved. You may
select to save one trace or ALL traces.
Key Path: Save
Mode: SA
Remote Command: :MMEMory:STORe:TRACe
TRACE1|TRACE2|TRACE3|TRACE4|TRACE5|TRACE6|ALL,<filename
>
:MMEMory:STORe:TRACe:REGister
TRACE1|TRACE2|TRACE3|TRACE4|TRACE5|TRACE6|ALL,<integer>
Example: :MMEM:STOR:TRAC TRACE1,“myState.trace” saves the file myState.trace
on the default path and flags it as a “single trace” file with Trace 1 as the
single trace (even though all of the traces are in fact stored).
:MMEM:STOR:TRAC ALL,“myState.trace” saves the file myState.trace on
the default path and flags it as an “all traces” file
:MMEM:STOR:TRAC:REG TRACE1,2 stores trace 1 data in trace register 2
