Saving and Recalling Files
Specifying the file
When you save or recall a file, you must specify the file name with the extension. When
you specify a file on the floppy disk drive, precede the file name with “A:”; when you
specify a file under a directory, delimit the directory and file names with a slash (/).
Saving data to a file
You can use the following command to save the instrument setting, images on the LCD,
measurement data for statistical analysis, list measurement results, and the contents of the
setup table into a file:
• :MMEM:STOR on page 291
The contents to be saved depend on the extension of the filename and the parameters
specified when the command is executed. The table below lists the extensions, parameters,
and corresponding contents to be saved.

Parameter Contents to be saved
.sta Not needed
Instrument state (instrument settings, calibration and compensation
state) are saved. For the instrument settings to be saved, see
Appendix G, “Initial Settings.”
.bmp Not needed
Images stored on the volatile memory
*1
are saved in the bitmap
format. If no images exist on the clipboard, the images of the LCD
are stored on the clipboard when the command is executed, then they
are saved.
.csv
LOG
or
omitted
Measurement data for statistical analysis stored on the volatile
memory (RAM) are saved in the ASCII format (as comma-delimited
data). If the frequency of data measurement stored on the volatile
memory exceeds 65,536, only the data acquired from the first 65,536
measurements are saved and the remaining data are ignored.
LIST
Measurement results of list measurement at all measurement points
are saved in the ASCII format as comma-delimited data.
Measurement results of single-point measurement cannot be saved.
SETup
The contents of all of the measurement point (stimulus) setup tables,
the contents of all of the calibration kit setup tables, and the contents
of all of the compensation kit setup tables are saved in the ASCII
format as comma-delimited data.
COMParator
The contents of all of the BIN sorting setup tables are saved in the
ASCII format as comma-delimited data.
.dta Not needed
Measurement data for statistical analysis stored on the volatile
memory (RAM) are saved in the binary format. Regardless of how
many times measurement is executed, all of the stored measurement
data are saved.
