Data management
Some of the commands in the following chapter are asynchronous. An overlapping or
asynchronous command does not automatically finish executing before the next com-
mand starts executing. If overlapping commands must be executed in a defined order,
e.g. to avoid wrong measurement results, they must be serviced sequentially.
To prevent an overlapping execution of commands, one of the commands
*OPC
,
*OPC?
or
*WAI
can be used after the command or a command set.

Instrument settings
The Mass MEMory subsystem provides commands to access the storage media and to
save and reload instrument settings.
File and directory names
The <file_name> and <directory_name> parameters are strings. Some commands use
a fixed directory; for others the <file_name> can contain the complete path including
the drive name and all subdirectories. If no complete path is specified, the file location
is relative to the current directory, queried with
MMEMory:CDIRectory?
. The file
name itself may contain the period as a separator for extensions.
Example: '
C:\TEMP\TRASH\test.txt
' for the file named
test.txt
in the
TEMP\TRASH
subdirectory of the internal hard disk drive C:\.
File and directory names can be chosen according to Windows™ conventions; the
restrictions placed on file names known from DOS systems do not apply. All letters and
numbers are allowed, as well as the special characters "_", "^", "$", "~", "!", "#", "%",
"&", "-", "{", "}", "(", ")", "@" and "`". Reserved file names are CON, AUX, COM1, ...,
COM4, LPT1, ..., LPT3, NUL and PRN.
The use of wildcards ? and * is not allowed.
