Using the file system
File system navigation
The Lua
fs
library provides the command set necessary to navigate the file system and list the
available files on a flash drive. The instrument encapsulates this command set as an
fs
logical
instrument, so that the file system of any given node is available to the entire TSP-Link system.
For example, the command
node[5].fs.readdir(".")
can be used to read the contents of
the current working directory on Node 5.
To allow for future enhancements, the root folder of the USB flash drive has the absolute path
"
/usb1/
".
NOTE Both slash (
/
) and backslash (
\
) are supported as directory
separators.
The following Lua
fs
commands, which support basic navigation and directory listing, are included
for your reference:
The following Lua
fs
commands are not supported at this time:
fs.chmod
fs.chown
fs.stat
