Saving and Recalling Instrument States and Data
Saving and Recalling Instrument States and Data
This section describes storage devices , the save and recall functions , and the information you
need to save instrument states and data into les .
A dditional information on how to save and recall instrument states is provided in the \T o Save
and Recall the Settings and Data " in Chapter 8.
Note
The 4

5 and 4

5 keys do not access Instrument B ASIC programs .
Instrument B ASIC has its own menus (under the 4 System 5 key) for accessing the
built-in disk drive and the memory disk. See Programming Manual for detail.
Storage Devices
The analyzer supports two storage devices , a built-in exible disk drive and a memory disk.
The exible disk drive should be used to store large numbers of les and long term data
storage . The memory disk should be used to store temporary tentative data and instrument
states and to store or retrieve data quickly .
Note
Use the built-in exible disk to store important data because the memory disk
data is lost when the power is turned o.
Disk Requirements
The analyzer's disk drive uses a 720 Kbyte , or 1.44 Mbyte 3.5 inch micro-exible disk.
Disk F ormats
The analyzer's built-in disk drive can access both LIF (logical interchange format) and DOS
formatted disks . The disk drive and the memory disk can also initialize a new disk in either LIF
or DOS format. Note that the analyzer can initalize 1.44 Mbyte disks only .
The following list shows the applicable DOS formats for the analyzer .
720 Kbyte , 80 tracks , double-sided, 9 sectors/track
1.44 Mbyte , 80 tracks , double-sided, 18 sectors/track
Memory Disk Capacity
The memory disk capacity is 512 Kbyte . The memory disk capacity can be changed. This
capacity includes the directory area. The capacity of data area depends on the disk format
type .
