TDS 500B, TDS 600B, & TDS 700A User Manual
The File Utilities menu lets you delete, rename, copy, print files, create a new
directory, operate the confirm delete and overwrite lock, and format disks.
To bring up the File Utilities menu:
1. Press the SAVE/RECALL SETUP button to bring up the Save/Recall Setup
menu, or press the SAVE/RECALL WAVEFORM button to bring up the
Save/Recall Waveform menu, or press the SHIFT HARDCOPY button to
bring up the Hardcopy menu.
2. Press File Utilities in the main menu to bring up the File Utilities side menu.
(See Figure 3–68.)
NOTE. The amount of free space on the disk is shown in the upper right corner of
the display. The oscilloscope shows the amount in Kbytes (or in Mbytes if the
free space is 1 Mbyte or more). To convert the amount to bytes, you simply
multiply the Kbytes amount times 1024. Thus, the 690 Kbytes shown in Figure
3–68 = 690 Kbytes x 1024 bytes/Kbyte = 706,560 bytes.
To delete a file or directory, turn the general purpose knob until it scrolls the
cursor over the line marked with both the name of the file or directory to delete
and the file icon or directory icon as shown to the left of this page. Then, press
the side menu Delete button.
To delete all files in the file list, set the cursor to the *.* selection.
The oscilloscope deletes directories recursively. That means it deletes both the
directories and all their contents.
