Mass Memory (USB) Subsystem - 34972A
This section gives information on the mass memory subsystem (34972A
only). The mass memory subsystem enables you to capture data to, or
import an instrument configuration from a USB drive connected to the
instrument’s USB port.
General Capabilities
The mass memory subsystem suppports the following capabilities:
1. Automatic streaming of scanned data to USB drive during scan.
• Files are automatically named.
• Data is logged to USB drive and reading memory simultaneously.
Most internal operations of the instrument continue to operate on
reading memory.
• If you are using TRIGger:COUNt INFinity and capturing more
than 50,000 readings, reading memory will fill and then overflow,
discarding the oldest data. The USB streaming will continue after
reading memory overflows, allowing you to capture all of the data
(up to 2
32
sweeps, or up to the limits imposed by the USB drive).
2. Copying of data from reading memory to USB drive
• Files are automatically named.
• After a scan finishes, you can export reading memory to your USB
drive (up to 50,000 readings).
3. Setup of your instrument based on channel configurations specified in
Agilent BenchLink Data Logger.
• Agilent BenchLink Data Logger allows you save configuration
(BLCFG) files on the USB drive. You can then import the file on
the USB drive into your instrument.
