Default storage location
The R&S SMBV100B stores user data in the user directory.
Depending on the installed options, the user directory is physically located on the inter-
nal memory or on the
removable memory .
In the file system, user directory is always indicated as
/var/user/
.
In manual control, you access this directory via the "File Manager", see Chapter 9.8,
"Using the File Manager" , on page 491. In remote control, you can query it with the
command
:SYSTem:MMEMory:PATH:USER?
.
To query and change the default directory used for mass storage, use the command
:
MMEMory:CDIRectory
.
File handling
To access files and the file system of the instrument or to use the general file manage-
ment functions such as copying and moving data, use the standard "File Manager" dia-
log.
See Chapter 9.8, "Using the File Manager" , on page 491.
To transfer files from and to the instruments or to exchange files, use one of the follow-
ing alternatives:
●
Connect a memory stick to one of the USB interfaces.
The instrument recognizes automatically a connected memory stick and assigns
the
/usb/
drive to it.
●
Connect the instrument to a LAN.
An instrument connected to a LAN supports two standard file transfer methods
from a remote client:
–
FTP (file transfer protocol)
– File sharing according to the SAMBA/SMB (server message block) protocol.
Both file transfer methods access the folder
/user
, that is the
/var/user/
folder
on the instrument.
For step-by-step description, see
Chapter 9.9, "How to Transfer Files from and to
the Instrument" , on page 497.
●
Map a network folder or a computer to an instrument connected to a LAN.
A mapped network folder is indicated as
/shares/<"Local Folder">
.
For step-by-step description, see Chapter 9.8.4, "How to Map a Network Folder" ,
on page 495.
File naming conventions
To enable files to be used in different file systems, consider the following file naming
conventions:
●
The filename can be of any length and is case-sensitive , i.e it is distinguished
between uppercase and lowercase letters.
●
All letters and numbers are permitted (numbers are, however, not permitted at the
beginning of the filename).
