3-l 6. USER-AREA FILING OPERATIONS
3-17. The 4145A uses a 5.25 inch, single-sided,
single-density flexible disc as the storage
medium for its MSU (mass storage unit). Each of
the five work-discs furnished with the 4145A
contains the necessary operating system
software, four general purpose measurement
programs, and enough user area for 131 records.
Up to 96 files can be stored in the user-area.
Note
A record is the minimum unit for
storage on the disc. A file consists of
1, 3, or 12 records, depending on the
file type.

Three types of files can be stored in the
user-area :
1.
Measurement program files-file type P :
Specifying file type P in the SAVE command
reserves 3 records on the disc and stores the
existing measurement setup (channel
assignments,
parameter settings, graphic
scaling, output sequence, etc.) at the
reserved S-record location.
2. Measurement data files-file type D :
Specifying file type D in the SAVE command
reserves 12 records on the disc and stores
the measurement setup and measurement
results (GRAPHICS, LIST,
nwnux,
or
SCHMOO) at the
reserved 12-record
location.
3. Auto-sequence program files-file type S :
Specifying file type S in the SAVE command
reserves 1 record on the disc and stores the
existing auto-sequence program
at the
reserved l-record location.
For more information on file types, number of
records used, etc., refer to Figure 3-30, 4145A
FILE CATALOG Page.
Four filing operations-SAVE, GET, PURGE, and
REPACK-can be performed from the front d

setup (except INTEG TIME, AUTO CAL, and
sof tkey

Before saving a
measurement setup, a page check must be
performed (refer to para. 3-44). To SAVE a
file, press the SAVE key (SAVE will appear
on the Keyboard Input Line of the CRT) and

disc. GET cannot be used to recall any of
the furnished measurement programs. To
