|
||
Explanation
|
Sets the media type. Returns the current media type as character data
|
||
Example
|

|
||
(2) Saves a file. |
Common |
||
Syntax
|
command |
:FDISK:SAVE 'NAME1$.NAME2$',A$,B$(,C$) :FDISK:SAVE 'NAME1$.NAME2$',A$ (when A$ = Set, Area or in the FFT function) |
|
response
|
A$NAME1$ = file name (8 characters) NAME2$ = extension (3 characters)
A$ = type of file Bin: binary data Text: text data Set: settings Area: waveform decision area
A$ = type of file (During memory segmentation or in the R&M function) BAll: binary data (All blocks (all waveforms) are saved.) BOne: binary data (One block (the displayed waveform) is saved.) TAll: text data (All blocks (all waveforms) are saved.) TOne: text data (One block (the displayed waveform) is saved.) *In the R&M function BAll, TAll: Both the MEM and REC waveforms are saved simultaneously. BOne, TOne: Only the waveform in the display function is saved.
B$ = saved channels ALL, CH1 to CH4, LOGIC (8835) ALL, CH1 to CH8, LOGIC (8835-01) ALL, CH1 to CH32, LOGIC (8826) ALL, CH1 to CH16, LOGIC (8841, 8842, 8720)
C$ = degree of thinning (text only) OFF, 1_2 to 1_1000
|
||
Explanation
|
Saves the information specified by A$. If an attempt is made to save to a filename that already exists, an execution error is generated. Double quotation marks (") can be used instead of single quotation marks (f).
|
||
Example
|
:FDISK:SAVE 'TEST.DAT',Bin,ALL Saves all channels of measurement data under the file name fTEST. DATf.
|
||
When allowed
|
Providing that measurement operation is not taking place.

||
Common |
|||
Syntax
|
command |
:FDISK:LOAD NO(,A$) (File number) :FDISK:LOAD "NAME1$.NAME2$"(,A$) (File name) |
|
response
|
A$NO = file number A$ = NEW, ADD NAME1$ = file name (8 characters) NAME2$ = extension (3 characters)
|
||
Explanation
|
Loads the data in the file numbered NO. Or loads the data of the specified file name. When loading the waveform data, "new load (NEW)" or "overwrite load (ADD)" can be set. (Default is NEW if omitted.)
|
||
Example
|
:FDISK:LOAD 1,NEW Loads the waveform data of the file numbered 1.
:FDISK:LOAD "TEST.MEM",NEW Loads a file called TEST.MEM.
|
||
When allowed
|
Providing that measurement operation is not taking place.
|
||
Common |
|||
Syntax
|
command |
:FDISK:INFOr? NO |
|
response
|
NO<NR1>,"NAME$","DATE$","TIME$",A<NR1>,B$,C$,D<NR1>,"TDATE$","TTIME$"NO : file or directory number NAME$ : file name DATE$ : date of save TIME$ : time of save A : size of file (bytes) B$ : function (MEM, REC, RMS) C$ : measurement contents (WAVE, SET) D : recording length TDATE$ : year/month/day of trigger TTIME$ : trigger time
|
||
Explanation
|
Returns information about the file numbered NO. If the file cannot be read, returns: NO, "NAME$", "DATE$", "TIME$", A, 0 Double quotation marks (") can be used instead of single quotation marks (f).
|
||
Note
|
As for the directory, the responses are shorten up to gTIME$h.

command |
:FDISK:DELEte NO(,A$) (Number) :FDISK:DELEte "NAME1$,"NAME2$"(Name) |
|
response
|
A$NO = file or directory number NAME1$ = file or directory name (8 characters) NAME2$ = extension (3 characters)
|
||
Explanation
|
Deletes the file or directory numbered NO. Or deletes the file or directory of the specified name.
|
||
Example

|
||
Explanation
|

|
||
Explanation
|
