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 Programming Guide.)

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
