Counter File System
Measurements in volatile reading memory and counter configuration states can
be stored in files within the counter’s internal (non-volatile) flash memory, or on a
external USB memory device connected to the ‘host’ port on the front panel
(Figure 7-1).
Files are created within folders on the root directory, or within sub-folders relative
to the root directory. The relationship of folders and files in internal flash memory
and on the USB drive is shown in Figure 7-2.
