Introduction
3070 systems are now available with a choice of these
two operating systems:
■ HP-UX
■ MS Windows®
3070 application file path usage is different between the
two operating systems.
The $AGILENT3070_ROOT Environment Variable
Beginning with software revision 3070 04.00pb 0501
WN, 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 $AGILENT3070_ROOT. It
replaces the root directory path (upper path names) on
both operating systems.
All subdirectories under /opt/hp3070/../.. will exist
on UNIX systems for the forseeable future.
NOTE
/opt/hp3070 is replaced by
$AGILENT3070_ROOT on all MS Windows
systems.
$AGILENT3070_ROOT on UNIX
On UNIX systems, the value of $AGILENT3070_ROOT
is /var/hp3070
Identify the Value of $AGILENT3070_ROOT
To identify the value of $AGILENT3070_ROOT on a
UNIX or Windows system, at a shell window prompt
enter:
■ echo $AGILENT3070_ROOT
