4.7 File Management
The R&S
SMC uses files to save all instrument data, i.e. system and user data.
The user data includes saved instrument settings and lists and the user correction.
The files are stored in the internal memory of the instrument or on a USB memory
stick. The
/var
directory can be used to save user-defined data; any subdirectory
structure can be created on
/var
. Some default subdirectories are predefined, but can
be changed at any time.
The
/opt
directory is a protected system drive and therefore unaccessible system
directory. The files on this directory contain data that must not be changed. Therefore,
this drive should not be accessed, since reconstruction of the system partition will lead
to data loss. To prevent inadvertent deletion or overwriting of system files, this drive is
not specified in the file menus.
Files can be exchanged either via a memory stick or a connected network. A memory
stick is connected to the USB interface and is assigned the
var/usb/
drive. In the
case of a connected network, all network drives that can be accessed are available.
The files are accessed in a "Save/Recall" dialog in the individual menus.
The files are differentiated according to their extensions; each type of file is assigned a
specific file content. The extension is usually of no consequence to the user since
access to the files occurs in the individual menus where only the relevant type of file is
available. See
Chapter 4.7.2.1, "Extensions for User Files"
view of the supported file extensions.
The user data can be roughly divided into the following data types:
●
Settings
Instrument settings can be saved and loaded. In case of saveing, the current set-
ting is saved to the specified file.
●
Lists
Lists, e.g. user correction lists, can be loaded. They can be generated either exter-
nally or internally. For internal generation, a new list must be created in the "File
Select" dialog which will then be edited in the list editor of the individual menu.
