MMEMory:DATA <file_name>[,<binary block data>]
MMEMory:DATA? <file_name>
This command writes the block data <binary block data> to the file identified by <file_name>. The
IEC/IEEE-bus terminator should be set to EOI in order to ensure correct data transfer.
The associated query command transfers the specified file from the instrument to the IEC/IEEE bus and
then on to the control computer. It is important to ensure that the intermediate memory on the control
computer is large enough to take the file. In this case, the setting for the IEC/IEEE-bus terminator is
irrelevant.
This command can be used to read/transfer stored instrument settings or waveforms directly from/to the
instrument.
The binary data block has the following structure: #234<block_data>
#
<number>
<number>
<binary block data>
The command triggers an event and therefore has no query form and no *RST value.
Example: MMEM:DATA 'TEST1.WV',#3767<binary data>
MMEM:DATA? 'TEST1.WV'
*RST value
-
MMEMory:DCATalog? <path>
This command reads out the subdirectories of the specified directory. If no directory is specified, the
default directory selected with the MMEM:CDIR command is read out. The directories are output in a
list (the list entries are separated by commas).
The command is a query command and therefore has no *RST value.
Example: MMEM:DCAT?
Response: 'test', 'wave', 'digital'
*RST value

always comes first in the binary block
indicates how many digits the subsequent length entry has (2 in example)
indicates the number of subsequent bytes (34 in example)
binary block data for the specified length
'writes the block data to the file 'test1.wv'.
'sends the data of the file 'Test1.wv' from the instrument to the control
computer in the form of a binary block.
