Mass Memory (USB) Subsystem - 34972A
For example, the folder named:
/34972A/data/MY00012345/20091210_134523123
would indicate a scan on instrument number MY00012345 that started
approximately 23.123 seconds after 1:45 pm (13:45) on December 10,
2009.
File Descriptions
The top level folder described above will contain two types of files. The
first is a file named as follows:
config.csv
This is a text file that documents the instrument configuration for this
scan. The timestamp is as described above. This file lists the
configuration of the instrument in a human readable form.
In addition to the config.csv file, you will have one or more data files
named as follows:
dat#####.csv
If you use the command MMEMory:FORMat:READing:RLIMit OFF, all
of the data will be stored in one file, named dat00001.csv.
You can issue the command MMEMory:FORMat:READing:RLIMit ON to
limit the data to 64K - 1 (65,535) sweeps per file, in which case the
sweeps are stored in multiple files, named dat00001.csv,
dat00002.csv, dat00003.csv, and so on. This is helpful for importing
data into spreadsheet or other data analysis software. Note that some
spreadsheet or data analysis software may import the data more easily if
you change the extension from csv to txt. If your software does not
import the file correctly, try changing the extension on the data file.
