Introduction
3070 systems now establish a root directory
environment variable.
Beginning with software revision 3070 04.00pa, an
environment variable is used to allow 3070 board files
to be easily transferred between 3070 systems running
either MS Windows or UNIX.
The environment variable is named
$AGILENT3070_ROOT. It replaces the root directory path
(upper path names) on both operating systems.
The directories, /var/hp3070 and /opt/hp3070, are
replaced by $AGILENT3070_ROOT on all MS Windows
systems.
The root directory environment variable is usually set to
D:\Agilent3070 , but could change.
Determine the Value of the Root Directory
Environment Variable
1 Open a Korn shell window:
■ Double-click the desktop Korn Shell icon OR
■ Click Start > Programs > Agilent 3070 > Korn
Shell.
2 At the prompt, enter:
echo $AGILENT3070_ROOT
The string returned is usually:
D:\Agilent3070
Use of the Root Directory Environment Variable
in a BT-BASIC Window
Table 8-1 illustrates new path equivalents using the
system config file in a BT-BASIC window.
NOTE
BT-BASIC usage is the same in both UNIX and
MS Windows.
