11.8 Managing Settings and Results
The commands required to store and load instrument settings and import and export
measurement results in a remote environment are described here. The tasks for man-
ual operation are described in Chapter 8, "Data Management", on page 185.
Addressing drives
The various drives can be addressed via the "mass storage instrument specifier"
<msis> using the conventional Windows syntax. The internal hard disk is addressed by
"C:". For details on storage locations refer to Chapter 8.2.2.2, "Storage Location and
Filename", on page 190.
The file names (<FileName> parameter) are given as string parameters enclosed in
quotation marks. They also comply with Windows conventions. Windows file names do
not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase notation.
Wildcards
The two characters "*" and "?" can be used as "wildcards". Wildcards are variables for
a selection of several files. The question mark "?" replaces exactly one character, the
asterisk replaces any of the remaining characters in the file name. "*.*" thus means all
files in a directory.
Path names
Storage locations can be specified either as absolute (including the entire path) or rela-
tive paths (including only subfolders of the current folder). Use the MMEM:CDIR? query
to determine the current folder.
Secure user mode
In secure user mode, settings that are to be stored on the instrument are stored to vol-
atile memory, which is restricted to 256 MHz. Thus, a "Memory full" error may occur
although the hard disk indicates that storage space is still available.
