RTB2004-COM4 RTB-B6 Pattern Generator Trouble on SAVE/LOAD

[Antonino]

Hi,
i'm Antonino from Rome.
I want to apologize immediately for my poor English.

My problem arises when I intend to load a previously saved arbitrary pattern.

No problem if I try to load the ARB.SCP file already contained in the internal memory. (/INT/SETTINGS/ARB.SCP)

The problem only occurs when I try to load a file saved by me.
The oscilloscope freezes.

I found that the files I saved have more or less this formatting (MyFile.SCP):

:PGEN:FUNC ARB
:PGEN:PATT:ARB:DATA 1,2,4,8,0
:PGEN:PATT:ARB:DATA:LENGTH 5.000000e+00
:PGEN:PATT:BURS:STAT 1.000000e+00
:PGEN:PATT:ITIM 4.000000e-02
:PGEN:PATT:BURS:NCYC 5.000000e+00
:PGEN:PATT:STIM 1.000000e-04
:PGEN:PATT:STAT 1.000000e+00

Instead, the ARB.SCP file already in memory starts with:

*RST;*CLS
CHAN1:STAT 1
CHAN1:POS -2.5
PROB1:SET:ATT:MAN 10.0
CHAN1:SCAL 0.5
PGEN:PATT:STAT 1
PGEN:FUNC ARB
PGEN:PATT:ARB:DATA 0,1,2,4,8,0
TRIG:A:TYPE EDGE
TRIG:A:SOUR CH1
TRIG:A:EDGE:COUP DC
TRIG:A:EDGE:SLOP POS
TRIG:A:LEV1 1.5
TIM:SCAL 5e-6


If I manually add (through RSCommander on the pc) the line
* RST; * CLS
to MyFile.SCP then the oscilloscope loads correctly.


*RST;*CLS
:PGEN:FUNC ARB
:PGEN:PATT:ARB:DATA 1,2,4,8,0
:PGEN:PATT:ARB:DATA:LENGTH 5.000000e+00
:PGEN:PATT:BURS:STAT 1.000000e+00
:PGEN:PATT:ITIM 4.000000e-02
:PGEN:PATT:BURS:NCYC 5.000000e+00
:PGEN:PATT:STIM 1.000000e-04
:PGEN:PATT:STAT 1.000000e+00

Any suggestions?
Best regards and many thanks.

Hello
thank you very much.
Also, each line of the file begins with ":".
Strange behavior...

Let me run this by the development team.

Ok, but keep in mind the ARB.SCP prebuilt in internal storage(R&S) Is written whitout ":".
Thanks a lot

If I save the settings on a USB stick on the oscilloscope afterwards, there are no "*RST;*CLS" commands. Loading from USB stick will freeze the oscilloscope.

This Is true also for int storage.
No differnces.
Thanks,
Antonino

Heard back from the team - this is apparently a known issue and a fix is planned for the next release.  The next release is currently planned for October.
