70 Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide
Basic Operation Preliminary
Working with Files Preliminary
Saving an Instrument State
1. Preset the signal generator and set the following:
2. (Optional, vector models only) Associate a waveform file with these settings:
a. Press Mode > Dual ARB > Select Waveform.
b. Highlight the desired file and press Select Waveform. If the file is not listed, you must first
move it from internal or external media to BBG media, see page 134.
3. Select the desired memory sequence (for this example, 1): Press Save > Select Seq > 1 > Enter.
4. Select the desired register (in this example, 01): Press Select Reg > 1 > Save Reg.
If a waveform is currently selected, saving the instrument state also saves a pointer to the
waveform file name.
5. Add a descriptive comment to sequence 1 register 01:
Press Add Comment to Seq[1] Reg[01], enter the comment and press Enter. The comment appears in
the Saved States list when you press Recall. If the instrument state has an associated waveform,
entering the waveform name in the comment makes it easy to identify which instrument state
applies to which waveform.
Saving a User Preset
A user preset is a special type of instrument state file.
1. Preset the signal generator and set as desired.
2. Press User Preset > Save User Preset.
This saves a state file named USER_PRESET, which the signal generator recognizes as containing
user preset information.
You can set up several preset conditions under different names:
1. After you save a user preset, rename it to something other than USER_PRESET (see page 72).
2. Save as many user presets as you wish, renaming the USER_PRESET file each time.
3. Give the desired file the name USER_PRESET.
Recalling an Instrument State
1. Preset the signal generator.
2. Press Recall.
The Select Seq softkey shows the last sequence used, and the display lists any states stored in the
registers in that sequence; RECALL Reg is the active entry.
3. Select the desired instrument state:
If the desired state is listed in the currently selected sequence, press desired number > Enter.
If not, press Press Select Seq > desired number > Enter > RECALL Reg > desired number > Enter.
