Example

Description
Using the ONCYCLE, ONDELAY, ONEOS, ONMKR, ONMKRU, ONSRQ, ONSWP, ONTIME,
TRMATH, TRDEF, VARDEF, FUNCDEF, ACTDEF, KEYDEF, KEYENH, or KEYCMD programming
commands create a trace, variable, function, softkey, or “on-event” function that remains in
the spectrum analyzer’s memory until you delete it with the DISPOSE command, or execute
the ERASE command. With the DISPOSE command, you can select which item is to be deleted
(for example, executing “DISPOSE ONMKR; ” would delete any ONMKR functions that you have
created). Or, if you execute DISPOSE ALL, all of the traces, variables, functions, softkeys,
and “on-event” functions that you have created will be deleted from spectrum analyzer
memory. Executing “DISPOSE ALL;” or the ERASE command frees all available spectrum
analyzer memory (except the state registers and predefined traces), to make the total available
user-allotted memory the maximum size.
