Default File System
The Test Set's default file system is the Microsoft®
(MS-DOS®). The DOS file system is used on IBM-compatible personal
computers. (See
information on the DOS file system.) This implies that the Test Set expects a DOS
formatted media for operations as shown in
(Hewlett-Packard
activities outlined in
operations), erroneous operation will result.
The IBASIC file system supports both LIF and DOS. The media format (DOS or
LIF) is determined automatically by the IBASIC file system when the mass
storage device is first accessed, and the appropriate format is used from then on
for IBASIC mass storage operations. File system operation defaults to DOS upon
exiting from IBASIC.
NOTE:
The IBASIC INITIALIZE command defaults to LIF format. Any media (RAM Disk,
SRAM Cards, External Hard Disk Drive, or 3.5-inch floppy) formatted using the default
conditions of the INITIALIZE command will be the LIF format and will be unusable except
for IBASIC mass storage operations. Refer to
System" on page 251
The IBASIC WILDCARDS command defaults to WILDCARDS OFF. To use
DOS wildcards while in IBASIC execute the WILDCARDS DOS command
upon entering the IBASIC environment.
