76 User Manual 1178.7417.02 ─ 04
The instrument recognizes automatically a connected memory stick and assigns
the
/usb/
drive to it.
●
Connect the instrument to a LAN.
An instrument connected to a LAN supports two standard file transfer methods
from a remote client:
–
FTP (file transfer protocol)
– File sharing according to the SAMBA/SMB (server message block) protocol.
Both file transfer methods access the folder
/user
, that is the
/var/user/
folder
on the instrument.
For step-by-step description, see
Chapter 6.7, "How to Transfer Files from and to
the Instrument" , on page 90.
●
Map a network folder or a computer to an instrument connected to a LAN.
A mapped network folder is indicated as
/shares/<"Local Folder">
.
For step-by-step description, see Chapter 6.6.4, "How to Map a Network Folder" ,
on page 89.
File naming conventions
To enable files to be used in different file systems, consider the following file naming
conventions:
●
The filename can be of any length and is case-sensitive , i.e it is distinguished
between uppercase and lowercase letters.
●
All letters and numbers are permitted (numbers are, however, not permitted at the
beginning of the filename).
●
Avoid using special characters.
●
Do not use slashes "\" and "/". These symbols are used in file paths.
●
Avoid using the following filenames:
CLOCK$
,
CON
,
COM1 to COM4
,
LPT1 to LPT3
,
NUL
or
PRN
They are reserved by the operating system.
File contents
To maintain the file size and to accelerate the loading and processing times, not all
instrument settings but rather the settings in state different than the preset one are
stored.
Network settings and remote settings cannot be saved and restored.
6.2 Restoring the (Default) Instrument Configuration
The R&S AREG100A has various options to set default settings. You can preset the
R&S AREG100A to an initial state at any time as a known starting point for configura-
tions. It is often useful as a first step in troubleshooting when unusual results arise.
