Figure 2-3: Memory Index and Setup Controls
The mass storage system of the 370B consists of non-volatile IC memory and
3.5-inch floppy disk drive that store characteristics curves and front panel setups.
The Memory Index display indicates the memory location that identifies where
curves or setups are stored in the mass storage. Up to 16 characteristic curves
and 16 front panel setups can be stored in internal nonvolatile IC memory. Up to
64 characteristic curves and 64 front-panel setups can be stored in a floppy disk.
Memory index. The Memory index display shows the memory location for
ENTER. SAVE, RECALL and VIEW functions. The index number can be
increased or decreased by up and down buttons to the right of the display. The
Index numbers from 1 to 16 are for nonvolatile IC memory. The Index numbers
from 17 to 80 are for 3.5-inch floppy disk.
Hold down on the FAST/SHIFT button while pressing either of the MEMORY
buttons to increase the rate of change. Simultaneously pressing the two
MEMORY buttons sets the index number to 1.
The setup save/recall function allows you to save or recall a group of front panel
settings. All of the front panel settings, except those stated in Table 2–1, can be
stored in or recalled from the mass storage.
SAVE/ FORMAT. The front panel setups are saved in the mass storage when SAVE
is pressed. The memory index display indicates the index number of the memory
location where the setups are stored. If a REP curve is displayed, it is also saved
as a part of the setup.
