9.1 File and data management
The R&S LCX uses files to save all instrument data, e.g., instrument configuration and
settings, measurement data or created screenshots of the current settings displayed
on the screen. Known from common file explorers, the "File Manager" function enables
you to transfer, copy and delete files from or to the internal and external memory direc-
tories, see
Chapter 9.1.1, "File manager settings" , on page 113.
In general, it is distinguished between the file groups system data and user data. Due
to security reasons, system data files and the system directory are not accessible. The
scope of this section is only files with user data. It provides an overview of the
R&S
LCX file system and covers the following topics:

Types of data files
Data files include device settings, measurement configurations and records, screen-
shots, hardware and firmware configurations, and various system information.
Depending on the content, user data is roughly categorized in the following data types:
●
Settings : instrument settings of a measurement configuration saved for later reuse,
see Chapter 9.12, "Save/recall" , on page 133.
●
Measurement readings : recorded measurement results saved for evaluation, see
Chapter 8.8.3, "Logging" , on page 94 or Chapter 8.8.5, "Binning" , on page 102.
●
Instrument configuration : firmware, with open source acknowledgement (OSA),
and support files containing information on the installed hard- and software ver-
sions for service purposes, see e.g.,
Chapter 9.11, "Update device" , on page 131
and Chapter 9.10, "Device information" , on page 129.
File memory location
The R&S LCX saves user files on the internal memory or if connected, on a memory
stick.
You save files in the directory
/int/...
on the internal memory, or the
/USB1A/...
directory on the memory stick. Depending on the data file, the instrument automatically
creates the corresponding subdirectory in the selected memory location.
