An extension is added to a filename depending on the contents of the file.
A filename created when a save command is executed is as follows:
• If you specify a filename with no extension, an extension shown in Table 8-1 is added
to the specified filename.
• If you specify a filename with its extension, the specified filename is used as it is.
NOTE When specifying a filename using a save execution command, use a filename with no
extension or a filename with the extension that matches with its contents.
When executing a file save command, you cannot specify an already existing file (in other
words, you cannot update the file). To update a file, use the following command.
• “RESAVD” on page 411
Recalling a file
You can recall a measurement result, calibration/compensation data (internal data arrays),
and measurement setup saved in a file (whose extension is “.DAT” or “.STA”) to restore its
contents on the 4294A. To recall a file, use the following command.
• “RECD” on page 408
NOTE To recall the contents of a file, specify a filename with its extension.
