The Mass MEMory subsystem contains functions that provide access to the instrument’s setup and data storage.
Transfer Data
:MMEMory:DATA?
Title
Transfer Data
Description
Transfers the data stored in the given file from the instrument to the controlling program. Data is transferred in the form of <header><block>. The ASCII <header> specifies the number of data byes. It appears as #AX, where A is the number of digits in X, and X is the number of bytes in <block>. <filename> should be enclosed in either single quotes (‘ ’) or double quotes (“ ”) and should contain a file extension (for example, *.stp, *.jpg), and the file must not be larger than 262136 bytes. Use the command MMEMory:MSIS to set the current storage location.
Syntax:
:MMEMory:DATA? <filename>
Cmd Parameter
<filename>
Query Response
<filename>
Front Panel Access
NA
Delete Setup/Measurement
:MMEMory:DELete
Description
Removes a file specified by <filename> from the current mass storage device. <filename> should be enclosed in either single quotes (‘ ’) or double quotes (“ ”) and it must include the file extension. Use the command MMEMory:MSIS to set the current file location.
Recalls a previously stored limit from the current storage location. The saved limit setting 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 mass storage location. Use the command MMEMory:MSIS to set the current mass storage location. File Extension: “.lim”
Syntax:
:MMEMory:LOAD:LIMit <filename>
Cmd Parameter
<filename>
Query Response
NA (no query)
Example
To recall trace with file name “limit”
:MMEMory:LOAD:LIMit “limit.lim”

Recall Setup
:MMEMory:LOAD:STATe
Description
Recalls a previously stored instrument setup in the current storage location. The setup file 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 storage location. The <integer> parameter is not currently used, but it must be sent. Send a 1.
Note
When recalling setups for modes other than the current mode, Anritsu recommends that you first change modes, then recall the setup.
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 storage location. The saved measurement trace 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 mass storage location. Use the command MMEMory:MSIS to set the current mass storage location. The <integer> parameter is not currently used, but it must be sent. Send a 1.
