Register 1 thru Register 5
Selecting any one of these register menu keys causes the Trace(s) specified under From Trace, along
with the state of the currently active mode, to be saved to the specified Trace 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.
From Trace
Accesses a menu that enables you to select the trace to be saved. Once a trace is selected, the key
returnsto the Save Trace menu and the selected trace number is annotated on the key. The default is the
currently selected trace, selected in this menu or in the Trace/Det, Export Data, Import Data or Recall
Trace menus, except if you have chosen All then it remains chosen until you specifically change it to a
single trace. To save the Trace you must select he Save As key in the Save Trace menu.
When you select a trace, it makes that trace the current trace, so it displays on top of all of the other
Notes: This command actually performs a save state, which in the Swept SA
measurement includes the trace data. However it flags it (in the file) as a “save
trace” file of the specified trace (or all traces).
Some modes and measurements do not have available all 6 traces. The Phase
Noise mode command, for example, is: MMEMory:STORe:TRACe
TRACE1|TRACE2|TRACE3|ALL,<filename>
The range for the register parameter is 1–5
When you initiate a save, if the file already exists, a dialog will appear that
allows you to replace the existing file by selecting
OK or you can Cancel the
request. If you select OK, the file will be overwritten. Using the C: drive is
strongly discouraged, since it runs the risk of being overwritten during an
instrument software upgrade.
Both single and double quotes are supported for any filename parameter over
remote.
After saving to a register, that register’s menu key is updated with the date and
time of the save.
After saving to a register, you remain in the
Save Trace menu, so that you can
see the Register key update. After saving to a file, the analyzer automatically
returns to the previous menu and any Save As dialog goes away.
