7.11.1 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 Signal Generator 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
chapter 4.7.2.1, "Extensions for User Files"
, on page 95 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 command
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
command. Also, subsequently to
loading a file with instrument settings with command
, these
settings have to be activated with the common command
*RCL <number>
.
7.11.2 Extensions for User Files
The following table list all available file extensions for user files. The currently available
files on the instrument depends on the installed options.
