:MMEMory Subsystem
The Mass Memory subsystem contains functions that provide access to the instrument setup and data storage.
Recall Limit
:MMEMory:LOAD:LIMit
Description
Recalls a previously stored limit from the current save location. The saved limit setting that is to be loaded is specified by <filename>. <filename> should be enclosed in either single quotes (‘ ’) or double quotes (“ ”) and should contain a file extension “.lim”. Note that the trace specified by <filename> should be available at the current save location. Use the command :MMEMory:MSIS to set the current save location. File Extensions: “.lim
Syntax:
:MMEMory:LOAD:LIMit <filename>
Cmd Parameter
<filename>
Example
To recall trace with file name “limit”:
:MMEMory:LOAD:LIMit “limit.lim”
Related Command
:MMEMory:STORe:LIMit

Shift‑7 (File), Recall, Change Type (select file type from list)
 
Recall Setup
:MMEMory:LOAD:STATe
Description
Recalls a previously stored instrument setup in the current save location. The setup file that is to be loaded is specified by <filename>. <filename> should be enclosed in either single quotes (‘ ’) or double quotes (“ ”) and should contain a file extension “.stp”. Use the command :MMEMory:MSIS to set the current save location. The <integer> parameter is not currently used, but it must be sent.
Send a numeral 1.

Recall Measurement
:MMEMory:LOAD:TRACe
Description
The instrument must be in the mode of the saved trace in order to recall that trace. Use :INSTrument:SELect or :INSTrument:NSELect to set the mode.
Recalls a previously stored measurement trace from the current save location. The saved measurement trace that is to be loaded is specified by <filename>. <filename> should be enclosed in either single quotes (‘ ’) or double quotes (“ ”) and should contain a file extension. Note that the trace specified by <filename> should be available at the current save location. Use the command :MMEMory:MSIS to set the current save location. Note that existing files of the same name will not be overwritten. The <integer> parameter is not currently used, but it must be sent.
Send a numeral 1.
