6.1 Overview
FRA5087 6-2
6.1 Overview
The FRA5087 has a provision of saving, as a file, measurement data and setting conditions in an
external memory (USB
flash drive ). You can read out the content of the saved file through PCs
such as IBM PC/AT compatible machines.
This section describes the format of the file produced by the FRA5087.
6.2 Computer system in which you can read
The file that has been produced by the FRA5087 can be read out through the following hardware
under the following OS (operating system) environment:

Hardware : IBM PC/AT compatible machines featuring a USB 1.1 or 2.0 port

OS : MS-Windows 98SE or later
6.3 File format
General aspects of the file of measurement data and measurement conditions produced by the
FRA5087 are the following:

Directory on which files are produced:
Files are produced only in the root directory

Limitation to file naming 8 characters
The external identifier (the part indicated by ### in a file name of ********.###) of
measurement data files is “DAT”. The external identifier of measurement condition files is
“CON”. You can change the type of files to arbitrary ones with appropriate external
identifiers by renaming operation. However, the files with the two external identifiers
mentioned above are the only ones that can be read into the FRA5087.

File attribute
The attribute of files produced by the FRA5087 is identical to that of normal files; e.g., they
are readable and writable.

Time and date codes of file directory
The “minute”, “hour”, “date”, “month” and “year” written in the file directory are those at
which the FRA5087 is creating the file, as measured by its internal clock.
