9.2.5 MMEMory Subsystem
The MMEMory subsystem (Mass Memory) contains the commands for managing files
and directories as well as for loading and storing complete instrument settings in files.
The various drives can be selected using the "mass storage unit specifier " <msus>. The
internal hard disk is selected with
D:\
, and a memory stick which is inserted at the USB
interface is selected with
E:\
. The resources of a network can also be selected with
<msus> in the syntax of the respective network, e.g. using the UNC format (Universal
Naming Convention):
\\server\share
.
The default drive is determined using the command
MMEMory:MSIS <msus>
.
The
C:
drive is a protected system drive. This drive should not be accessed. Recon-
struction of the system partition will not be possible without loss of data..
9.2.5.1
File Naming Conventions
To enable files in different file systems to be used, the following file naming conventions
should be observed.
The file name can be of any length and no distinction is made between uppercase and
lowercase letters. The file and the optional file extension are separated by a dot. All letters
and numbers are permitted (numbers are, however, not permitted at the beginning of the
file name). Where possible, special characters should not be used. Use of the slashes
"\" and "/" should be avoided since they are used in file paths. A number of names are
reserved by the operating system, e.g. CLOCK$, CON, AUX, COM1...COM4,
LPT1...LPT3, NUL and PRN.
In the R&S DigIConf all files in which lists and settings are stored are given a characteristic
extension.
The extension is separated from the actual file name by a dot (see
, on page 254 for an overview the file types).
The two characters
*
and
?
function as wildcards, i.e. they are used for selecting several
files. The
?
character represents exactly one character, while the
*
character represents
all characters up to the end of the file name.
*.*
therefore stands for all the files in a
directory.
When used in conjunction with the commands, the parameter
<file_name>
is specified
as a string parameter with quotation marks. It can contain either the complete path
including the drive, only the path and file name, or only the file name. The file name must
include the file extension. The same applies for the parameters
<directory_name>
and
<path>
.
Depending on how much information is provided, either the values specified in the
parameter or the values specified with the commands
MMEM:MSIS
(default drive) and
MMEM:CDIR
(default directory) are used for the path and drive setting in the commands.
Before the instrument settings can be stored in a file, they have to be stored in an inter-
mediate memory using common command *SAV <number>. The specified number is
