621User Manual 1175.6632.02 ─ 16
In the file system, user directory is always indicated as /var/user.
In manual control, you access this directory via the "File Manager", see Chapter 10.8,
"Using the File Manager", on page 639. In remote control, you can query it with the
command :SYSTem:MMEMory:PATH:USER?.
To query and change the default directory used for mass storage, use the command :
MMEMory:CDIRectory.
File handling
To access files and the file system of the instrument or to use the general file manage-
ment functions such as copying and moving data, use the standard "File Manager" dia-
log.
See Chapter 10.8, "Using the File Manager", on page 639.
To transfer files from and to the instruments or to exchange files, use one of the follow-
ing alternatives:
●
Connect a memory stick to one of the USB interfaces.
The instrument recognizes automatically a connected memory stick and assigns
the /usb/ drive to it.
●
Connect the instrument to a LAN.
An instrument connected to a LAN supports two standard file transfer methods
from a remote client:
– FTP (file transfer protocol)
– File sharing according to the SAMBA/SMB (server message block) protocol.
Both file transfer methods access the folder /var/user/share.
For step-by-step description, see Chapter 10.9, "How to Transfer Files from and to
the Instrument", on page 644.
●
Map a network folder or a computer to an instrument connected to a LAN.
A mapped network folder is indicated as /shares/<"Local Folder">.
For step-by-step description, see Chapter 10.8.4, "How to Map a Network Folder",
on page 643.
File naming conventions
To enable files to be used in different file systems, consider the following file naming
conventions:
●
The filename can be of any length and is case-sensitive, i.e it is distinguished
between uppercase and lowercase letters.
●
All letters and numbers are permitted (numbers are, however, not permitted at the
beginning of the filename).
●
Avoid using special characters.
●
Do not use slashes "\" and "/". These symbols are used in file paths.
●
Avoid using the following filenames: CLOCK$, CON, COM1 to COM4,
LPT1 to LPT3, NUL or PRN
They are reserved by the operating system.
