File Manager - R&S AFQ100A Operating Manual

R&S AFQ100A File Management

File Manager

The File Manager allows general file management such as copying, shifting, renaming and deleting
files as well as generating new directories. Thus, also externally created files, for example waveforms
created by using the R&S WinIQSIM2 program, can be saved to the instrument by copying them from a
memory stick or a network to the internal hard disk.
The File Manager can be called up via the File Manager... button in any menu to which files can be
saved.
In the upper area File Type the File Manager allows the type file selection to be displayed. This can be
used to process either all files (all files (*:*) selection) or a specific selection of files (e.g. waveforms
(*.wv) selection). The table at the end of this section contains a list of the file types.
The available drives and directories are displayed on the left side, the files of the selected directory on
the right side. The currently selected path is displayed above the windows. If the area is opened several
times, the path last selected is displayed. Unlike the file select windows, the File Manager displays the
full file names including the extensions.
The buttons/softkeys trigger the associated actions such as copying, shifting or deleting the marked
files. A new directory can be created in the level below the marked directory.
Operation is similar to the operation of menus with several areas (see section "Selecting and Exiting a
Dialog Area - Setting Parameters" on page 3.18): By using the cursor keys, the area is marked; the
entry focus is shifted to this area by using the key. The up/down cursor keys will then navigate
Enter
only within this area. By using the left/right cursor keys, it is possible to switch between the directory
tree and the file list. The subdirectories of the selected directory will only be displayed after a short
delay to allow quick navigation in the directory tree. Pressing the key again shifts the entry focus
Esc
up one level. The buttons/softkeys can be selected and activated.
Shift file:
Mark file and then press the Cut button. Mark the directory to which the file is to be shifted and then
click on the Paste button. If the target directory already contains a file with the same name, a
confirmation query is displayed to confirm overwriting of this file.
Copy file:
Mark file and then press the Copy button. Mark the directory to which the file is to be copied and then
click on the Paste button. If the target directory already contains a file with the same name, a
confirmation query is displayed to confirm overwriting of this file.
Rename file:
Mark file and then press the Rename button. An entry window for entering the new file name opens.
Enter the name and press the key. If a file with the same name already exists, a confirmation
Enter
query is displayed to confirm overwriting of this file.
