Managing Files
The Agilent 4294A provides three types of data storage device: floppy disk drive, volatile
memory disk, and nonvolatile memory disk (flash memory). This section describes how to
manage data files with these devices.
For how to save and recall internal data, refer to “Save and Recall the Agilent 4294A
Internal Data” on page 270.
Creating a Directory
The file management in the storage devices of the Agilent 4294A is based on the
hierarchical tree structure used for the file systems of conventional personal computers.
Follow these steps to create a “joint” in the tree structure called a directory.
Step 1. To create a directory on a floppy disk, insert the disk into the floppy disk drive.
Step 2. Press the
[Save] key to display the Save menu.
Step 3. Press the FILE UTILITIES key to display the File Utilities menu.
Step 4. In [ ] of the
STORE DEV [ ] key's softkey label, the currently selected storage device is
displayed.
To create a directory on the currently selected storage device, proceed to Step 6.
To create a directory on a storage device other than the currently selected one, press the
STORE DEV [ ] key to display the Mass Storage menu.
Step 5. Select the storage device on which you want to create a directory.
Pressing one of the above keys returns the display to the File Utilities menu.
Step 6. When a storage device is selected, the current directory (the current location in the
hierarchical tree structure to store files) at that time and the amount of available space on
the storage device are displayed in the upper left area of the screen. No name is assigned to
the highest level directory, called the root directory, and only “\” is displayed.
To create a new directory under the current directory, proceed to Step 9.
