MMEMory Subsystem
Parameter Typical Return
Any valid folder name; defaults to folder selected by MME-
Mory:CDIRectory
(see below)
The following query lists all arbitrary waveform and sequence files at the root level in internal memory.
MMEM:CAT:DATA:ARBitrary? "INT:\"
Typical Response:
+1000000000,+327168572,"TestSequence1.seq,NA,223",
"TestSequence1.seq,Segment1.arb,1469"",
"TestSequence1.seq,Segment2.arb,2356"",
"TestSequence1.seq,Segment3.arb,4399"",
"NA,Example.arb,2215"
l The instrument returns two numeric values and a string for each .seq and .arb/.barb file in the selected folder. The
first numeric value indicates the number of bytes of storage used on the drive. The second indicates the number of
bytes of storage available. Each <file listing> is in the format "<filename>,<file_type>,<file_size>" (the quo-
tation marks are also returned), where <filename> is the name of the file including file extension, if any; <file_
type> is FOLD for folders, ARB for arb segments, or SEQUENCE for arb sequence files; <file_size> is the size of the
file in bytes.
l If no .seq, .arb, or .barb files exist, only <mem_used>,<mem_free> is returned.
l Because the instrument uses a small amount of space in the flash file system for internal use, the <mem_used>
value will not be zero even if no user files exist on the drive.
MMEMory:CATalog:STATe? [<folder>]
Lists all state files (.sta file extension) in a folder.
Parameter Typical Return
Any valid folder name; defaults to folder selected by
MMEMory:CDIRectory
+1000000000,+327168572,"MySetup.sta,STAT,8192"
List all state files in MyData folder on front panel USB drive.
MMEM:CAT:STAT? "USB:\MyData"
Format for returned catalog:
<mem_used>,<mem_free>{,"<file listing>"}
The instrument returns two numeric values and a string for each state file in the selected folder. The first numeric
value indicates the number of bytes of storage used on the drive. The second indicates the number of bytes of storage
available. Each <file listing> is in the format "<file_name>,<file_type>,<file_size>" (the quotes are also returned),
where <file_name> is the name of the file including file extension, if any; <file_type> is STAT for STATe (.sta) files;
<file_size> is the size of the file in bytes.
If no state files exist, only <mem_used>,<mem_free> is returned.
Because the instrument uses a small amount of space in the flash file system for internal use, the <mem_used>
value will not be zero even if no user files exist on the drive.
