Hard disk drive
When you receive the logic analyzer, the hard disk drive is already
DOS-formatted. The factory also creates a directory on the hard disk drive
named "/SYSTEM". The /SYSTEM directory is intended to store system
software such as backup copies of the operating system files and the
performance verification files. When you recieve your logic analyzer, the
/SYSTEM directory already contains two X Window font files and several files
of examples.
The files on the hard disk drive are not essential to the logic analyzer's
correct operation. However, you can store important files such as optional
software, autoload files, configurations, and software backups here. You can
configure the logic analyzer to Autoload files from the hard disk at power up.
When the logic analyzer searches for autoload files and software options, it
first looks in the flexible disk drive. If the flexible disk drive contains an
autoload file and two software options, the analyzer does not check the hard
disk drive. If some of these were not found, the analyzer next checks the hard
drive's root and /SYSTEM directory.
You can manually copy files, such as performance verification files, to the
/SYSTEM directory, but they will not necessarily be installed when the
analyzer powers up. To automatically load software, follow the installation
instructions provided with the software. It will change the power-up
sequence to include the software option and also copy the files to the
/SYSTEM directory.
Flexible disk drive
The flexible disk drive reads 3.5-inch flexible disks in both DOS and LIF
format. If a disk is in the drive when the analyzer is turned on, the analyzer
checks the disk for software and autoload files. If these files are found, they
are loaded into the analyzer.
