Copying Files

Files can be copied from one mass-storage device to another using IBASIC COPY

commands. For example, to copy a file from an inserted memory card to the left

drive of an external dual-disk drive with HP-IB address 700, press TESTS. Select

IBASIC Cntrl from the SET UP TEST SET list (or IBASIC from the Test

Function

field). Position the cursor to the IBASIC command line and select it.

Using the character list that appears in the

Choices menu, enter the following

command:

COPY “MY_TEST:INTERNAL” TO “MYFILE:,700,0”

You can copy a file from a memory card to an SRAM memory card by loading the

program from the memory card into the test set, inserting an initialized SRAM

memory card, and then using the IBASIC SAVE command. Enter the following:

SAVE “MY_TEST:INTERNAL”

You can list the names of the files stored in a memory card or disk catalog by

using the IBASIC CAT command. To display a list of file names on a memory

card, enter the following:

CAT “:INTERNAL” or CAT

The mass storage powers-up to memory card as a default. If you did not change

this setting, then

”:INTERNAL” is optional. If you are entering many characters

into the IBASIC command line, you may want to connect a terminal to the test set.

See

"Configuring the Test Set for Printing" on page 215. You will also want to use

a terminal if you have many files to list because file names displayed with the

CAT

IBASIC command scroll past the top of the test set’s CRT display and cannot be

scrolled down.
