Using Data Storage Functions

This section explains how to use the two forms of signal generator data storage: the memory catalog
and the instrument state register.

Using the Memory Catalog

The Memory Catalog is the signal generator’s interface for viewing, storing, and saving files; it can be
accessed through the signal generator’s front panel or a remote controller. (For information on
performing these tasks remotely, see the Agilent Signal Generators Programming Guide.)

Table 2-1 Memory Catalog File Types and Associated Data

Binary

binary data

State

instrument state data (controlling instrument operating parameters,
such as frequency, amplitude, and mode)

LIST

sweep data from the List Mode Values table including frequency,
amplitude, and dwell time

User Flatness

user flatness calibration correction pair data (user–defined
frequency and corresponding amplitude correction values)

FIR

Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter coefficients
