Storage devices
You can store all this data on the internal memory of the R&S
FPC or on external stor-
age devices like memory sticks that you can connect to one of the USB ports of the
R&S
FPC.
The default storage device depends on which devices are connected.
●
If a memory stick is connected, datasets are always stored there first.
●
The internal memory is used only if no memory stick is connected.
Note that the internal memory of the R&S
FPC is limited to several Mbytes. Therefore it
is recommended that you use an external memory device like a USB stick to save
measurement data or screenshots and only keep templates and datasets that you
require regularly on the internal memory.
If you use an external storage device, the available disk space is limited only by the
size of the storage device.
Free space of the internal memory
You can find out the disk space that is left on the internal memory of the R&S
FPC in
the file manager.
Open the file manager ("Save Recall" > "File Manager"). The free disk space is indica-
ted at the top of the dialog box.
Folder structure of the internal memory
The internal memory has a given folder structure. Basically, each data type has its own
designated folder.
For example, there is a folder labeled
\Channel Tables
that contains all channel
tables that are delivered with the firmware. Another folder is labeled
\Datasets
that is
the default folder for saving a dataset.
Of course, you can save a dataset in the
\Limit Lines
folder, but for a good file
organization, it is recommended not to mix up file types.
Using in the file manager
The file manager is a tool that provides functionality to manage the files in the internal
memory or on external storage devices.
1. Press the "Save Recall" key to open the file menu.
2. Select the "File Manager" menu item to open the file manager.
The R&S
FPC shows the contents of the root directory of the internal memory.
Use the rotary knob or the cursor keys to navigate through the folder contents.
Press the "
✓
" key or the rotary knob twice to access the contents of the folder you
have selected.
3. Apply one of the actions to the selected file or folder.
