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 10.8,
"Using the file manager" , on page 503. 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 10.8, "Using the file manager" , on page 503.
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 10.9, "How to transfer files from and to
the instrument" , on page 509.
●
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 10.8.4, "How to map a network folder" ,
on page 507.
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).
●
Avoid using special characters.
●
Do not use slashes "\" and "/". These symbols are used in file paths.
●
Avoid using the following filenames:
CLOCK$
,
CON
,
COM1 to COM4
,
LPT1 to LPT3
,
NUL
or
PRN
They are reserved by the operating system.
