Features and Functions

Front Panel Operation:

Store/Recall > STORE|RECALL|DELETE|RENAME|AUTO

To rename a location, select

RENAME. Press the arrow keys to move the

cursor to a specific position and then turn the knob to select the desired
letter or number. To clear the name of a location, change each character
to “ ^ ” (starting with the rightmost character) and then press the left
arrow key to move to the next character.

To automatically recall a specific location when power is restored,
select

AUTO. Use the knob to scroll through the available locations

containing a stored state.

Remote Interface Operation:

Use the following commands to store and

recall instrument states.

*SAV {1|2|3|4|5}

*RCL {1|2|3|4|5}

To assign a user- defined name to a stored state to be recalled from the
front panel, see the following example. From the remote interface, you can
only recall a stored state using a number (1 through 5).

MEM:STAT:NAME 1,TEST_RACK_1

To configure the instrument to automatically recall location 2 when power
is restored, send the following commands.

*SAV 2

MEM:STATE:RECALL:SELECT 2

MEM:STATE:RECALL:AUTO ON

Error Conditions

When the front panel ERROR annunciator turns on, one or more command
syntax or hardware errors have been detected. A record of up to 20 errors
can be stored in the instrument’s error queue. Each remote interface I/O
session (i.e., GPIB, USB, LAN, etc.) has its own interface- specific error
queue. Errors appear in the error queue of the I/O session that caused
the error (the front panel reports errors from all I/O sessions).

For a complete listing of the error messages, see the Agilent 34980A
Programmer’s Reference Help file, located on the Product Reference
CD- ROM
. The CD- ROM is located inside the rear cover of this manual.

The instrument beeps once each time a command syntax or hardware

error is generated.

A special global error queue holds all power- on and hardware- related

errors (e.g., over- temperature, Safety Interlock, etc.).
