3 Instrument Operating System
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 7 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.
