MMEMory Subsystem
MMEMory:UPLoad - uploads contents of a file from instrument to host computer
Folder and file formats
Many MMEMory commands refer to folders and files. These have specific structures, described below.
Format for a <folder>
l The format for <folder> is "<drive>:<path>", where <drive> can be INTernal or USB, and <path> is an absolute
folder path.
l INTernal specifies the internal flash file system.USB specifies a front panel USB storage device.
l Absolute paths begin with "\" or "/" and start at the root folder of <drive>.
l The folder name specified in <path> cannot exceed 240 characters.
l The specified folder must exist and cannot be marked hidden or system.
l If <drive>:<path> is omitted, the folder specified by MMEMory:CDIRectory is used.
l If <drive> is omitted:
l The path is treated as a relative path and appended to the folder specified by MMEMory:CDIRectory.
l Absolute paths are NOT allowed.
Format for a <file>
l The format for <file1> and <file2> is "[<drive>:<path>]<file_name>", where <drive> can be INTernal or USB,
and <path> must be an absolute folder path.
l INTernal specifies the internal flash file system.USB specifies a front panel USB storage device.
l If <drive>:<path> is omitted, the folder specified by MMEMory:CDIRectory is used.
l Absolute paths begin with "\" or "/" and start at the root folder of <drive>.
l Folder and file names cannot contain the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > |
l The combination of folder and file name cannot exceed 240 characters.
l The source file and folder and the destination folder must exist and cannot be marked hidden or system.
l If the destination file exists, it is overwritten, unless marked as hidden or system.
l If <drive> is omitted:
l The path is treated as a relative path and appended to the folder specified by MMEMory:CDIRectory.
l Absolute paths are NOT allowed.
Mass Memory (MMEMory) and State Storage
The front panel uses the MMEM subsystem, not the MEM subsystem, to save states. If you save a state with the front
panel, you can still access it with SCPI. However, a state saved into the MEM subsystem via SCPI using *SAV cannot be
retrieved from the front panel.
