Recall

The content of a state file includes all of the settings and data required to return the analyzer as
closely as possible to the Mode it was in, with the exact settings that were in place, when the save
occurred.  The Mode settings in each state file include the settings that are affected by Mode
Preset, as well as the additional settings affected by Restore Mode Defaults; all of the Mode’s
settings.  In addition, all of the settings of the Input/Output system are included, even though they
are outside of the Mode’s state, because they are needed to restore the complete setup.  Persistent
System settings (for example, GPIB address) are not affected by either a Mode Preset or Restore
Mode Defaults, nor are they included in a saved State file.

Since each state file is only for one Mode, the settings for other Modes are unaffected when it is
loaded.  Recall State will cause a mode switch if the state being recalled is not from the current
active mode.

After the recall completes, the message "File <filename> recalled" or “Recalled State Register
<register number>” is displayed.

For rapid recalls, the State menu lists 16 registers that you can choose from to recall.  Pressing a
Register key initiates the recall.  You can also select a file from which to recall.

The default path for all State 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).

Remote Command

:MMEMory:LOAD:STATe <filename>

Example

:MMEM:LOAD:STAT "myState.state"

This recalls the file myState.state on the default path

Example

MMEM:LOAD:STAT "MyStateFile.state"

This loads the state file data (on the default file directory path) into the instrument state.

Notes

When you pick a file to recall, the analyzer first verifies that the file is recallable in the current
instrument by checking the software version and model number of the instrument. If everything
matches, a full recall proceeds by aborting the currently running measurement, clearing any
pending operations, and then loading the State from the saved state file. You can open state files
from any mode, so recalling a State file switches to the mode that was active when the save
occurred. After switching to the mode of the saved state file, mode settings and data (if any for
the mode) are loaded with values from the saved file. The saved measurement of the mode
becomes the newly active measurement and the data relevant to the measurement (if there is
any) is recalled.

If there is a mismatch between file version or model number or instrument version or model
