The Controller board in Agilent 3499A/B mainframe has two types:
Controller board Version 1.0 and Version 2.0. Agilent 3499C always has a
Controller board of Version 2.0.
Firmware of Agilent 3499A/B/C mainframe currently has 4 revisions: REV
1.0, REV 2.0, REV 3.0 and REV 4.0. Firmware REV 1.0/2.0/3.0 runs under
Controller board Version 1.0 and REV 4.0 runs under Controller board
Version 2.0.
The current instrument setup can be stored for future convenience. The
stored setups can be recalled directly, or included in a scan list. However, the
stored instrument setup in SCPI mode is different from that in 3488A mode.
Table 3-3 lists these differences.
To store a instrument setup:
1. Press Shift + Recall, the display would be:
