R&S FSP Remote Control – Description of Commands
MMEMory Subsystem
6.132 Operating Manual 1164.4556.12 - 06
MMEMory:DATA <file_name>[,<block data>]
This command writes the block data contained in <block> into the file characterized by <file_name>.
The GPIB delimiter must be set to EOI to obtain error-free data transfer.
The associated query command reads the indicated file from the mass memory and transfers it to the
control computer via the GPIB. It should be noted that the buffer memory of the control computer
should be large enough to store the file. The setting of the GPIB delimiter is irrelevant in this case.
The command is useful for reading stored device settings or trace data from the instrument or for
transferring them to the instrument.
•
MMEMory:DATA <file_name>,<block data>
Data transfer from control computer to instrument.
•
MMEMory:DATA? <file_name>
Data transfer from instrument to control computer.
<file_name> selects the file to be transferred.
The binary data block <block> has the following structure:
– it always begins with the character '#',
– followed by a digit for the length of the length information,
– followed by the indicated number of digits as length information (number of bytes) for the binary
data themselves,
– finally the binary data with the indicated number of bytes
Example:
"MMEM:DATA 'TEST01.HCP',#216This is the file"
'means:
'#2: the next 2 characters are the length indication
'16: number of subsequent binary data bytes
'This is the file: 16 bytes stored as binary data in the file TEST01.HCP.
"MMEM:DATA? 'TEST01.HCP'"
'Transfers the file TEST01.HCP from the instrument to the control computer.
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: conform
Mode: A
MMEMory:DELete <file_name>
This command deletes the indicated files.
The indication of the file name contains the path and, optionally, the drive name. Indication of the path
complies with DOS conventions.
Parameter: <file_name> ::= DOS file name
Example:
"MMEM:DEL 'TEST01.HCP'"
'The file TEST01.HCP is deleted.
Characteristics: *RST value: -
SCPI: conform
Mode: A
This command is an event and therefore has no *RST value and no query.
