Disk Drive Partitioning and Use
Disk Drive Partitioning and Use
The drive is partitioned into 3 sections: C:, D: and E:
—The C: partition contains the Windows 10 operating system and software
installed by Keysight. This is an Open System which means you can install
additional software, and these should be installed on the C: drive. However,
only a limited set of software applications are tested for use with the
Keysight measurement software. The installation and/or use of other
software is not warranted and could interfere with the operation of the
measurement software. If instrument repair is ever needed, the Keysight
version of the C: drive is the only part of the instrument software that is
restored by the Instrument Recovery process. You must reload any other
software that you have added in the instrument.
—The D: partition is reserved for data storage. The User Accounts that are
configured by Keysight have their My Documents folder mapped to the D:
drive. This is for the convenience of backing-up the measurement data. You
should always back-up the data on the D: drive to an external device. This
allows you to restore the data if you ever need to replace the disk drive.
—The E: partition is reserved for Keysight’s use. The primary use of the E:
drive is for housing the Calibration and Alignment data. Do not change or
overwrite the files on this drive. This could cause your instrument to not
meet specifications, or even to stop functioning correctly. Do not use this
drive for data storage. It is also recommended that you back up the
contents of this drive by using the factory calibration data backup utility.
Backing-up the factory calibration data
To back up the factory calibration data to an external location, you will need a
USB storage device.
Instruments running Window 10 should have an internal CAL_BACKUP F: drive,
which is the default backup location.
