How do I save data to a USB flash drive?
NOTE
A reading buffer has to be created, selected, and must contain data before it can be
saved to a USB flash drive.
To save a reading data buffer to an attached USB flash:
1. Select the desired reading buffer by pressing the
STORE
key. The RD BUF ACTION MENU
will be displayed. the SELECT menu item is not displayed, you need to create a reading
buffer (and place readings in that buffer) before continuing.
2. Turn the wheel to highlight the SAVE menu item.
3. Press the wheel (or the
ENTER
key). SAVE RD BUFFER will be displayed.
4. Press the wheel (or the
ENTER
key) to select USB.
5. Edit the file name as desired.
Press the wheel (or the
ENTER
key) to enter edit mode (the EDIT annunciator will light).
Turn the wheel to change the characters values, use the
CURSOR
keys to change the
character being edited.
6. Press the
ENTER
key to exit edit mode and again to save the buffer to the USB drive. If an
error is displayed, check that your reading buffer has readings present. The created file is
located in on the root directory of your USB flash drive. the drive may be removed from the
Series 3700 after data transfer has completed.
How can I save/recall setups from the internal memory or USB drive?
Save a setup (bus operation)
Setups are saved over the bus to either internal memory or to a connected USB flash drive. To
save a setup, use the following command:
setup.save
Function: Saves the
present setup as a
user-setup.
To save to the internal memory location, send no
parameters with function:
setup.save()
To save to the USB flash drive:
setup.save(location)
location:
Setup location to save. Use the format
"usb1/
<filename>
" where
<filename>
is the name
of the desired file contained on a USB flash drive.
For example: Send the following to save a user setup to a file named KEITHLEY_3730 on a
USB flash drive:
setup.save("/usb1/KEITHLEY_3730")
