FILESystem:CWD
Description
This command sets or queries the current working directory for FILE-
System GPIB commands. The default working directory is ”C:\Tek-
Scope”. Anytime that you use this command to change the directory,
the directory that you specify is retained as the current working directo-
ry until you either change the directory or you delete the directory. If
you delete the current working directory, the instrument resets current
working directory to the default directory (C:\TekScope) the next time
the instrument is powered on or the next time you execute a file system
command. The current working directory is retained between power
cycles.
This command supports the permutations of file and directory names
that are supported by Microsoft Windows:
H Relative path names; for example, ”.\Temp”
H Absolute path names; for example, ”C:\Windows\System”
H Implied relative path names; for example ”newfile.text” becomes
”C:\TekScope\newfile.txt” if the current working directory is
”C:\TekScope”
