This section concentrates on the features available from the front panel; you can 
also control the mass memory subsystem with the following SCPI commands:
– MMEMory:FORMat:READing:CSEParator <column_separator>
– MMEMory:FORMat:READing:CSEParator?
– MMEMory:FORMat:READing:RLIMit <row_limit>
– MMEMory:FORMat:READing:RLIMit?
– MMEMory:LOG[:ENABle] <state>
– MMEMory:LOG[:ENABle]?
– MMEMory:EXPort?
– MMEMory:IMPort:CONFiguration? "<configuration_file>"

34972A Programmer’s Reference Help.
Folder and file structure
Folder description
Each saved scan will be stored in a top-level folder named: 
/34972A/data/[instrument_SN]/[yyyymmdd_hhmmssmmm]
The square brackets ( [ ] ) are not actually part of the directory name, and the 
yyyymmdd_hhmmssmmm is a timestamp indicating the approximate start of the 
scan. The format is year (yyyy), month (mm), day (dd), underscore (_), hours (hh), 
minutes (mm), seconds (ss), and milliseconds (mmm).
For example, the folder named:
/34972A/data/MY00012345/20091210_134523123
would indicate a scan on instrument number MY00012345 that started 
approximately 23.123 seconds after 1:45 pm (13:45) on December 10, 2009.
