Recall
Recall
The Recall menu lets you choose what you want to recall, and where you want to recall it from.
Among the types of files you can recall are States andTraces. In addition, an Import (Data) option
lets you recall a number of data types stored in CSV files (as used by Excel and other spreadsheet
programs).
The default paths for Recall are data type dependent and are the same as for the Save key.
Key Path Front-panel key
Notes No remote command for this key specifically, but the :MMEM:LOAD command is available for
specific file types. An example is :MMEM:LOAD:STATe <filename>.
If you try to recall a State file for a mode that is not licensed or not available in the instrument, an
error message will occur and the state will not change.
Backwards Compatibility
Notes In legacy analyzers, it was possible to load a state without affecting the trace data, limit lines or
correction data. Similarly (since User Preset is actually loading a state), it was possible to do a
User Preset without affecting the trace data, limit lines or correction data.
In the X-Series, “state” always includes all of this data; so whenever state is loaded, all of the
traces, limit lines and corrections are affected. Although this differs from previous behavior, it is
desirable behavior, and should not cause adverse issues for users.
Backwards Compatibility
Notes Recall for the X-Series supports backward compatibility in the sense that you can recall a state
file from any X-Series model number and any version of X-Series software. If you try to recall a
state file onto an instrument with less capability than what was available on the instrument
during the save, the recall will ignore the state it doesn’t support and it will limit the recalled
setting to what it allows.
Example: if the saved state includes preamp ON, but the recalling instrument does not have a
preamp; the preamp is limited to OFF. Conversely, if you save a state without a preamp, the
preamp is OFF in the state file. When this saved file is recalled on an instrument with a licensed
preamp, the preamp is changed to OFF. Another example is if the saved state has center
frequency set to 20 GHz, but the instrument recalling the saved state is a different model and
only supports 13.5 GHz. In this case, the center frequency is limited along with any other
frequency based settings. Since the center frequency can’t be preserved in this case, the recall
limiting tries to at least preserve span to keep the measurement setup as intact as possible.
Note that there is no state file compatibility outside of the X-Series. For example, you cannot
recall a state file from ESA or PSA.

State
The Recall State menu lets you choose a register or file from which to recall the state.
