The following table lists signal generator the subdirectories and file paths where file types are stored.
MSUS (Mass Storage Unit Specifier) Variable
The variable "<msus>" enables a command to be file type specific when working with user files.
Some commands use it as the only command parameter, while others can use it in conjunction with
a file name when a command is not file type specific. When used with a file name, it is similar to
Format 2 in the File Name Variables section on page 13. The difference is the file type specifier
(msus) occupies its own variable and is not part of the file name syntax.
The following examples illustrate the usage of the variable "<msus>" when it is the only command
parameter:
