9. Saving and Recalling Files

Recalling a file

To recall an .sta file that contains previously saved instrument settings, use the following

command:

• :MMEM:LOAD on page 290

By recalling an instrument settings file, you can restore the instrument to the state it was in

when you saved the file. Note that some of the instrument settings cannot be saved.

Automatically recalling a file

When the 4287A is turned on, it looks for an instrument settings file named “autorec.sta”

and, if the file exists, automatically recalls the settings from the file.

Managing a file

To manage files, use the following command:

Copies a file :MMEM:COPY on page 289

Creates a new directory (folder) :MMEM:CRE:DIR on page 289

Deletes an existing file or directory :MMEM:DEL on page 290
