File management conventions
The oscilloscope uses the following file management conventions for data
storage:
■
The oscilloscope checks for available space on the USB flash drive before
writing files, and displays a warning message if there is not enough memory
available.
■
The term “folder” refers to a directory location on the USB flash drive.
■
The default location for the file save or file recall functions is the current
folder.
■
/usb0/ is the root folder.
■
The oscilloscope resets the current folder to /usb0/ when you power on the
oscilloscope, or when you insert a USB flash drive after the oscilloscope is
powered on.
■
File names can have one to eight characters, followed by a period, and then
followed with an extension of one to three characters.
■
The oscilloscope displays long file names created on PC operating systems
with the shortened file name from the operating system.
■
File names are case insensitive and are displayed in upper case.
You can use the File Utilities menu to do the following tasks:
■
List the contents of the current folder
■
Select a file or folder
■
Navigate to other folders
■
Create, rename, and delete files and folders
■
Format the USB flash drive
See File utilities for the USB flash drive on page 110.
