Mass Storage Access
Program and data files stored on the Test Set’s various mass storage locations can
be selectively accessed from the following screens:
• The TESTS (IBASIC Controller) screen.
Any type of file can be accessed from this screen, either through an IBASIC program
or the IBASIC command line.
• The TESTS (Main Menu) screen using the Select Procedure Location: and
Select Procedure Filename: fields.
Only procedure files shipped with HP 83217 software or procedure files created using
the TESTS (Save/Delete Procedure) screen of the TESTS Subsystem can be accessed
using these fields. When created, procedure file names are prefixed with a lower case
.PRC file extension (FM_TEST.PRC).
A corresponding code file - prefixed with .PGM (FM_TEST.PGM must reside on the
same media for the procedure to work. Refer to the TESTS Screen chapter in the
HP 8924C Reference Guide for further information.
• The TESTS (Save/Delete Procedure) screen using the Select Procedure
Location: and Enter Procedure Filename: fields.
This screen is used to create “procedure” files. When created, procedure file names are
prefixed with a .PRC file extension (FM_TEST.PRC).
• The Signaling Decoder screen in NMT mode.
Only user-written NMT tests can be accessed from this screen. NMT test files must be
saved with a .NMT file extension (NMT_1.NMT).
Save/Recall register files, stored on the Test Set’s various mass storage locations,
can be accessed using the front-panel SAVE and RECALL keys.
