File Manager
The
File Manager
allows general file management such as copying, shifting, renaming and deleting
files as well as generating new directories. Thus, also externally created files, for example waveforms
created by using the R&S WinIQSIM2 program, can be saved to the instrument by copying them from a
memory stick or a network to the internal hard disk.
The
File Manager
can be called up via the
File Manager...
button in any menu to which files can be
saved.
In the upper area
File Type
the
File Manager
allows the type file selection to be displayed. This can be
used to process either all files (all files (*:*) selection) or a specific selection of files (e.g. waveforms
(*.wv) selection). The table at the end of this section contains a list of the file types.
The available drives and directories are displayed on the left side, the files of the selected directory on
the right side. The currently selected path is displayed above the windows. If the area is opened several
times, the path last selected is displayed. Unlike the
file select windows, the
File Manager
displays the
full file names including the extensions.
The buttons/softkeys trigger the associated actions such as copying, shifting or deleting the marked
files. A new directory can be created in the level below the marked directory.
Operation is similar to the operation of menus with several areas (see section "
Dialog Area - Setting Parameters
" on page 3.18): By using the cursor keys, the area is marked; the
entry focus is shifted to this area by using the
Enter
key. The up/down cursor keys will then navigate
only within this area. By using the left/right cursor keys, it is possible to switch between the directory
tree and the file list. The subdirectories of the selected directory will only be displayed after a short
delay to allow quick navigation in the directory tree. Pressing the
Esc
key again shifts the entry focus
up one level. The buttons/softkeys can be selected and activated.
Shift file:
Mark file and then press the
Cut
button. Mark the directory to which the file is to be shifted and then
click on the
Paste
button. If the target directory already contains a file with the same name, a
confirmation query is displayed to confirm overwriting of this file.
Copy file:
Mark file and then press the
Copy
button. Mark the directory to which the file is to be copied and then
click on the
Paste
button. If the target directory already contains a file with the same name, a
confirmation query is displayed to confirm overwriting of this file.
Rename file:
Mark file and then press the
Rename
button. An entry window for entering the new file name opens.
Enter the name and press the
Enter
key. If a file with the same name already exists, a confirmation
query is displayed to confirm overwriting of this file.
