PROGRAM
A directory for storing the pattern files of programmable sweeps. The files in this directory
can be selected by the programmable sweep function.
By factory default, sample program files are stored in this directory. The sample program
files are not erased even if the storage is formatted.
SETUP
A directory for storing the GS820 panel settings. Any of the files in this directory can be
selected as a setup file.
By factory default, a default setup file is stored in this directory. The default setup file is
not erased even if the storage is formatted.
Volatile Storage (GS820RAM)
GS820RAM is a RAM storage that is automatically formatted when the power is turned
ON. A result file (Result.csv) is created in this directory when the storage operation is
carried out. If the settings are saved to the GS820RAM, the current settings are saved to
a file named Setup.txt.
This storage is normally used to transfer files that the GS820 generates to your PC.
However, a system file is transferred from your PC to this storage when updating the
system firmware. For details, see section 17.5, “Updating the System Firmware.”
Note
You can create subdirectories and write files to GS820RAM, but be sure that the storage does
not become full. The data on this storage is lost when the power is turned OFF.
Formatting the Storage
You can format the storage if you want to reset the GS820 to factory default conditions,
if the non-volatile or volatile storage cannot be detected on your PC, or if you believe the
data on the storage is corrupt.
USB Communication (Command Control by Way of USB-TMC)
(See chapter 12 for the procedure)
A USB2.0 device interface. This interface allows access to the USB storage function as
well as allow command control from a VISA library using a USB-TMC device driver of
VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) as defined by the VXI Plug&Play System
Alliance.
