Basic OperationWorking with FilesRecalling an Instrument State and Associated Waveform File1. Ensure that the desired waveform file exists, and that it is in BBG media (page 142).If the waveform file is not in BBG media, this procedure generates an error.Recalling an instrument state with an associated waveform file recalls only the waveform name. Itdoes not recreate the waveform file if it was deleted, or load the file into BBG media if it is ininternal or USB media.2. Recall the desired instrument state (see previous example).3. View the waveform file name recalled with the instrument state: press Mode > Dual ARB.The name is displayed as the selected waveform.4. Turn on the waveform file: Press Mode > Dual ARB > ARB Off On.Recalling an Instrument State and Associated List FileRecalling an instrument state recalls only the list sweep setup. It does not recall the frequencyand/or amplitude values. Because you must load the list file from the file catalog, when you store alist file, be sure to give it a descriptive name (up to 25 characters).1. Recall the desired instrument state (see previous example).2. Load the desired list file:a. Press Sweep > More > Configure List Sweep > More > Load/Store.b. Highlight the desired file and press Load From Selected File > Confirm Load From File.Editing The Comment on an Instrument CommentUse the following steps to change a comment on an instrument state saved using the Save key. Thisis not the file name that appears in the State catalog (which is the file’s memory location).1. Press Save2. Highlight the desired register3. Press Edit Comment In Seq[n] Reg [nn].4. Press Re–SAVE Seq[n] Reg[nn].This overwrites previously saved instrument state settings with the new comment.72 Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators User’s Guide
