Application Sample Programs
File Transfer Function
File Transfer from 4294A to External Controller
This program transfers a specified file in the current directory (RAM disk in the sample
program of Example 13-7 ) of the 4294A to the current directory of the storage device (A
drive in the sample program of Example 13-7 ) connected to the external controller, giving
a file name you desire.
When executed, this program first prompts you to enter a source file name, as shown
below. Enter the name of a file you want to transfer.
ENTER SOURCE FILE NAME ON INSTRUMENT ?
Then, the program prompts you to enter a destination file name as shown below, and in this
example, SAMPLE.STA has been entered as the source file name. Enter the file name you
want to give on the storage device. Note that a file with the same name will be overwritten,
if it already exists.
ENTER SOURCE FILE NAME ON INSTRUMENT ? SAMPLE.STA
ENTER DESTINATION FILE NAME ON CONTROLLER ?
