File contents
To maintain the file size and to accelerate the loading and processing times, not all
instrument settings but rather the settings in state different than the preset one are
stored. Considered is also configuration data for the operating elements and lists with
user data, e.g. dialog positions and a list of user correction data. However, if a list data
is part of the instrument settings, a reference to this list is stored, not the list itself.
This approach ensures that the created files contain only relevant information and
allows you to transfer instrument settings even between different equipped signal gen-
erators. During the recall process, the instrument interprets only the relevant settings;
all non-referenced parameters are set to their preset values. Error messages indicate
the settings which cannot be implemented, like referencing non-existing lists or the
attempt to activate settings which are not supported by the instrument.
Network settings and remote settings cannot be saved and restored.

results arise.
