MMEMory Subsystem
The MMEMory subsystem (Mass Memory) contains the commands for managing files and directories
as well as for loading and storing complete instrument settings in files.
The files are stored on the internal flash memory of the instrument or on external USB memory devices.
The /var directory can be used to save user-defined data; any subdirectory structure can be created on
/var. Some default subdirectories are predefined and must not be changed.
The default directory is determined using the command MMEMory:CDIR.
Note:
The /opt directory is a protected and therefore unaccessable system directory. The files on this
directory contain data that must not be changed. Therefore, this directory should not be accessed,
since reconstruction of the system partition will lead to data loss.
To enable files in different file systems to be used, the following file naming conventions should be
observed:
The file name can be of any length and no distinction is made between uppercase and lowercase
letters. The file and the optional file extension are separated by a dot. All letters and numbers are
permitted (numbers are, however, not permitted at the beginning of the file name). Where possible,
special characters should not be used. Use of the slashes "\" and "/" should be avoided since they are
used in file paths. A number of names are reserved by the operating system, e.g. CLOCK$, CON, AUX,
COM1...COM4, LPT1...LPT3, NUL and PRN.
In the R&S Signal Generator all files in which lists and settings are stored are given a characteristic
extension. The extension is separated from the actual file name by a dot (see the following table
containing a list of the file types).
