Send the Device a Setup File?

[mlund]

Is there a way for Spike to create a setup file which I can then send to the device through the API?

I see in Spike the Preset option.
In the API I do not see a way to send a setup file to the device.

Hi mlund,

Unfortunately no. If you are trying to configure either sweeps or an I/Q stream in the API, most of the settings in the Spike software control panels directly correspond to settings available in the API, but you have to write code to properly configure those desired settings. There is no notion of presets in the API.

It should also be known that the device itself stores very little of the configuration (most memory on device is volatile), almost all of the configuration is PC side.

Basically, we are trying to make sure the foundational state of the device is known. Then alter the settings like center frequency, span, mode, etc. during our tests.
