Storage
Internal Memory
1.5 Mbytes of nonvolatile storage is available to store instrument states,
measurement data, screen images, and IBASIC programs. Instrument
states can include all control settings, limit lines, memory data,
calibration coefficients, and custom display titles. If no other data files
are saved in nonvolatile memory, between about 30 and 150 instrument
states (depending on the instrument parameters) can be saved.
Approximately 32 Mbytes of volatile memory is also available for
temporary storage of instrument states, measurement data, screen
images, and IBASIC programs.
Disk Drive
Trace data, instrument states (including calibration data), and IBASIC
programs can also be saved on floppy disks using the built-in 3.5” disk
drive. All files are stored in MS-DOS® -compatible format. Instrument
data can be stored in binary or ASCII format (including Touchstone/.s2p
format), and screen graphics can be saved as PCX (bit mapped), HP-GL
(vector), or PCL5 (printer) files.
Network File System (NFS)
Remote files and directories, such as those stored on a computer, can
behave like local files and directories stored within the analyzer through
the use of NFS and the LAN interface. This allows test data from the
analyzer to be saved directly to a remote directory—the remote machine
does not have to initiate an ftp session to retrieve the data. The analyzer
has a built-in NFS client. For Windows-based applications, third-party
NFS-server software must be installed on the PC. NFS is fully supported
in most versions of UNIX.
Data Hardcopy
Hardcopy prints can be made using PCL and PCL5 printers (such as
HP DeskJet or LaserJet series of printers), or Epson-compatible graphics
printers. Single color and multicolored formats are supported. Hardcopy
plots can be automatically produced with HP-GL-compatible plotters
such as the HP 7475A, or with printers that support HP-GL. The
analyzer provides Centronics (parallel), RS-232C, HP-IB, and LAN
interfaces.
