10.9.5 Using a File Server for Test Files Exchange
You can use a central file storage location like a file server in your company network to
store setup files, SCPI scripts, application programs, or waveform files on it. Usually,
you would like to distribute the files to several instruments. If the R&S SMWs are con-
nected to a LAN, you can create a shortcut on the instruments to the file server.
To access the file server
1. On each R&S SMW, map the required directory of the file server to the instrument.
Perform the steps described in Chapter 10.8.4, "How to Map a Network Folder",
on page 643.
2. On each R&S SMW, use the same alias name for the directory of the file server,
i.e. enter the same "Local Folder" (in this example Setups).
On any of the R&S SMW, you access the file server directly from the "File Man-
ager" and under the same name, e.g. /shares/Setups.
An extra advantage in remote control is that the same application program would
control the instruments.
For example, use the remote control command MMEMory:CDIRectory
"/shares/Setups" to set the default directory for mass storage.
