3 Features and Functions<br />
Product Firmware Updates<br />
As new product features and enhancements become available, you can<br />
easily update your mainframe and plug- in module firmware to ensure<br />
optimum compatibility. The latest firmware updates are available from the<br />
<strong>Agilent</strong> <strong>34980A</strong> product page at www.agilent.com/find/<strong>34980A</strong>Updates.<br />
Front Panel Operation: Utility > FIRMWARE > UPDATE<br />
Once you have downloaded the latest mainframe firmware (see above), <br />
use the knob to scroll through the installed modules that require a<br />
firmware update. To exit the menu without installing the updates, <br />
select CANCEL.<br />
Instrument State Storage<br />
The instrument has five storage locations in non- volatile memory to store<br />
instrument states, numbered 1 through 5. You can assign a user- defined<br />
name to each of locations 1 through 5.<br />
You can store the instrument state in any of the five locations, but you<br />
can only recall a state from a location that contains a previously <br />
stored state.<br />
The instrument stores the state of all plug- in modules including all<br />
channel configurations, scanning setups, and Mx+B scaling values.<br />
However, note that only the measurement attributes of the<br />
currently- selected function (range, resolution, etc.) will be preserved in<br />
the stored states.<br />
Before recalling a stored state, the instrument verifies that the same<br />
plug- in module types are installed in each slot. If a different module<br />
type is installed, the instrument will perform the equivalent of a<br />
Factory Reset (*RST command) and an error will be generated.<br />
When shipped from the factory, storage locations 1 through 5 are<br />
empty. In addition, the automatic recall mode is disabled<br />
(MEMory:STATe:RECall:AUTO OFF command) and a Factory Reset (*RST<br />
command) is issued when power is turned on.<br />
You can name a location from the front panel or over the remote<br />
interface but you can recall a named state only from the front panel.<br />
The name can contain up to 12 characters. The first character must be<br />
a letter (A- Z), but the remaining 11 characters can be letters, numbers<br />
(0- 9), or the underscore character (“_”). Blank spaces are not allowed.<br />
An error is generated if you specify a name with more than 12 characters.<br />
A Factory Reset (*RST command) does not affect the configurations<br />
stored in memory. Once a state is stored, it remains until it is<br />
overwritten or specifically deleted.<br />
