limit line commands.
Agilent ESA analyzers use two types of mass storage devices:
• 3.5 inch disk drive (high density, 1.44 MBytes formatted) designated
• Part of flash memory and treated as a device designated "C:"
The MMEMory command syntax term <file_name> is a specifier
having the form: drive:name.ext, where the following rules apply:
•
• "name" is a DOS file name of up to eight characters, letters (A-Z, a-z)
• "ext" is an optional file extension using the same rules as "name,"
Catalog the Selected Memory Location
:MMEMory:CATalog? <drive>
where "drive" is "A:" or "C:"
Lists all files in the specified drive. The return data will be of the
format: <mem_used>,<mem_free> {,<file_listing>}
Each <file listing> indicates the name, and size of one file in the
directory list: <file_name>,,<file_size>
Example:
Front Panel
Access:
Copy a File
:MMEMory:COPY <file_name1>,<file_name2>
To copy a file, the source file name is <file_name1> and the destination
file name is <file_name2>.
Example:
5-68
"A:"
"drive" is "A:" or "C:"
and numbers (0-9) only (lower case letters are read as uppercase)
but consists of up to three characters total
Catalog drive C:, which is in instrument memory:
CATalog? "C:"
