DELETE Function: Deletes an assigned device name, virtual attenuator, virtual switch, group, or macro

Syntax: DELETE ASSIGN name Deletes an assigned device name

DELETE ASSIGN ATTN name Deletes an assigned virtual attenuator name

DELETE ASSIGN SWITCH name Deletes an assigned virtual switch name

DELETE GROUP name Deletes an assigned group name

DELETE MACRO name Deletes a macro definition

Argument(s): name string10 device or macro name

Remarks: This function is used to remove an assigned name previously set with the ASSIGN

or MACRO command. Note that this command does not effect any assignments contained in the

non-volatile memory. Use the SAVE command if it is desired to update the contents of the EEPROM,

permanently removing the device assignment.

Return Value: none

Example(s): DELETE ASSIGN AT1

SAVE Function: Store assignments, configuration, or macros into non-volatile memory

Syntax: SAVE ASSIGN Saves device assignments

SAVE ASSIGN ATTN Saves virtual attenuator assignments

SAVE ASSIGN SWITCH Saves virtual switch assignments

SAVE GROUP Saves group assignments

SAVE CONFIG Saves system configuration information

SAVE MACRO Saves macro definitions

Argument(s): none

Remarks: This function is used to save the currently defined assignments or macros into non-

Remarks: This function is used to erase sections of the EEPROM, effectively setting all

parameters in the section to their default values. Valid settings for section include:

IDN - erases model and serial number

GPIB - erases GPIB configuration

SERIAL - erases serial port configuration

SYSTEM - erases system configuration

ASSIGN - erases all device assignments, including virtuals and groups

MACRO - erases all macros

EEPROM - erases the entire memory
