HP 3562A Operating Manual page 310

DISC-displays the disc menu, which you can use to save and recall files, view the catalog,
initialize discs, create time throughput files, and perform disc servicing diagnostics.
Disc addresses are entered in the H p·IB FCTNS menu.
ABORT HP·IB-aborts Hp·IB operations. This can be used if you encounter trouble
with disc operations and the bus or the disc drive does not respond. Abort·
ing does not affect files existing on the disc.
CATLOG POINTR-enables the Entry group to move the catal o g pointer, which is
used to select disc files for recalling or deletion. If the catalog has been read
previously then replaced with another display, it is redisplayed when
CATLOG POINTR is pressed. AT POINTR in the alpha menu is used to
recall or delete files identified by the catalog pointer.
CLEAR LOGS-clears the disc fault log, error rate test (ERT) log and run time log. The
ERT log is cleared each time the read·only error rate test is performed (see
RO ERT TEST), but CLEAR LOGS isthe only way to clear the fault and run
time logs. Make certain that you have read and appropriately responded to
any information in the logs before clearing them.
COPY FILES-used to copy one or more files from the source disc to the destination
disc. To copy a single file, press COPY FILES, enter the name with the alpha
menu then press ENTER. To copy several contiguous files, type in the start·
ing file name followed by a comma. Next, type in the ending file name and
press ENTER. This copies the files in the disc catalog from the starting file to
the ending file, inclusive. The source disc i s identified by DISC ADORES
and DISC UNIT in the Hp·IB FCTN menu. The destination disc is identified
by DESTN DISC and DESTN U N I T in the DISC COPY menu. See
"OVERWR AU MAN" to handle duplicate file names.
To copy all the files from the source disc to the destination disc, press COPY
FILES followed immediately by ENTER. To restart copying if " Disc Full" is
displayed, insert a second disc into the destination drive and press
RESUME COPY You have two options for copying all files on a disc: COPY
FILES or IMAGE BACKUP. IMAGE BACKUP is faster, but it starts by eras·
ing the destination and is used primarily for media backups.
CREATE THRUPT -used to enter a file name and create a throughput file on disc.
When CREATE THRUPT is pressed, the alpha menu is displayed to allow
entry of the file name. (For instructions on using the alpha menu, please
refer to the beginning of this chapter.) The size of the file created is deter·
mined by THRUPT SIZE and must be specified every time you create a
throughput file. To use the size previously specified, you still must press
THRUPT SIZE to verify this. Note that throughput sessions (see the
THRUPT SELECT menu under MEAS MODE) require throughput files that
are equal to or greater than the length of the session.
