The term folder refers to a directory location on the CF card
The default location for the file save or file recall functions is the current folder
The root folder is A:\
The oscilloscope resets the c urrent folder to A:\ when you power on the
oscilloscope, or when you insert a CF card after the oscilloscope is powered on
File names can have one to e ight characters, followed by a period, and then
followed with an extension of one to three characters
It displays long file names created on PC operating systems with the shortened
file name from the operating system
File names are upper case
