Saving A Program (Save) - Agilent Technologies 4294A Programming Manual

Saving a Program (SAVE)

Step 1. To use the built-in floppy disk drive, insert a 2DD disk or 2HD disk into the floppy disk
drive. (If the disk is not initialized, initialize it in DOS format. For the procedure see
Operation Manual.)
Step 2. Reserve the BASIC area. For the procedure, see "Reserving an Area for BASIC on the
Screen" on page 139.
Step 3. Decide on which storage unit to use a floppy disk, RAM disk (volatile), or flash disk
(non-volatile).
If you decide on it by use of the front panel, follow the procedure given below.
1. Carry out the key operation given below.
[System]
2. Press one of the softkeys;
MEMORY
If you use the keyboard, enter one of the following, then press the
• To decide on a floppy disk
MSI ":INTERNAL,4"
• To decide on a RAM disk
MSI ":MEMORY,0"
• To decide on a flash disk
MSI ":INTERNAL1,5"
Step 4. Type the following on the keyboard, then press the
SAVE "file name"
NOTE If you type a file name already present on the applicable disk in saving a program, an error
message "ERROR -257 File name error" appears, and the program is not saved. In this
instance, you can use one of three ways given below to deal with this matter.
• Use a file name that is not present on the disk. To check the names of files held on the
disk, use the CAT command.
• Overwrite an existing file with a new file by giving the same name. To overwrite a file
held on the disk, use the RE-SAVE command.
• Use the PURGE command to erase the old file, and save the program as a new file.
