Save Bench Application State

Save the instrument state of the current bench application in a proprietary format with a *.state file extension.

In order to save the state, the instrument must be connected and launched in a bench application window. If the bench application is not currently active, the save operation is disabled.
If an instrument is connected but is currently acquiring measurements, the state of that instrument will not be stored (the exception is the DMM bench application, which allows the state to be stored as the instrument has time during an acquisition). To store the state, stop the acquisition prior to the save operation.
The state of the instrument will not be stored if instrument communication is currently paused or has been lost.
By default, the instrument state is stored in the "My Documents" folder on your computer and files are organized by instrument type. For example – C:\Users\<user_name>\Documents\Keysight\BenchVue\Digital Multimeter\States\.
Saving the instrument state does not store any measurement or trace data. To save your measurement or trace data, use the Export operation.
