Your default disk selection tells the analyzer which disk to use when it is saving and
recalling files. You can use online help to learn more about these options, but here’s a
quick summary:
• [
NON-VOL RAM DISK
] selects a portion of the analyzer’s battery-backed RAM. This
“disk” stores about 100 Kbytes of data without option UFF. It stores about 1.1
Mbytes if you add option UFF. In either case, the data is not lost when you turn off
the analyzer.
• [
VOLATILE RAM DISK
] selects a portion of RAM that is not battery-backed. Data on
this “disk” is lost when you turn off the analyzer. However, the disk has two
advantages: you can format it to hold more data than the nonvolatile RAM disk,
and file operations are much faster than on the internal disk.
• [
INTERNAL DISK
] selects the analyzer’s internal disk drive. This drive stores data on
3.5-inch flexible disks (double-sided, double- or high-density). For more
information, see the following task, “To format a flexible disk”.
• [
EXTERNAL DISK
] selects a disk drive connected to the analyzer via its GPIB
connector. The disk must be connected as described in the previous task, “To set up
an external disk.” If the disk has only one mass storage unit, enter a value of 0 for
[
EXTERNAL DISK UNIT
]. If it has more than one mass storage unit, enter the number
of the unit you want to use.
