6.1. STORAGE SYSTEM
The
GX 1030
provides an internal non-volatile memory (C Disk) and a USB Host interface for external memory.
1. Local (C:)
Users can store instrument states and arbitrary waveform files to C Disk.
2. USB Device (0:)
There is a USB Host interface located on the left side of the front panel which permits users to store/recall waveforms or update
the firmware version by U-Disk. When the generator detects a USB storage device, the screen will show the drive letter USB
Device (0:) and display a prompt message USB device connected, as shown in Figure 59. After removing the U-Disk, the screen
will display a prompt message USB device removed. And USB Device (0:) in the storage menu will disappear.

Note:
The
GX 1030
can only identify files of which filenames consist of English letters, number and underscore. If other characters
are used, the name may be displayed in the store and recall interface abnormally.

6.2. FILE TYPE
Choose
[Store/Recall] → [File Type]
to select the desired file type. Available file types are State File and Data File.
State File
Store the instrument state in internal or external memory in ―*.xml format. The state file stored includes waveform parameters
and modulation, sweep, burst parameters of two channels and utility parameters.
Data File
The
GX 1030
can recall the data files in *.csv or *.dat format from external memory and transfer them into *.bin format then store
them in the internal memory. When it is done, the generator will enter the arbitrary waveform interface automatically.
In addition, users can edit arbitrary waveforms with PC software
EasyWave or SX GENE
, download them to the internal memory
through remote interface and store them (in *.bin format) in the internal memory.
