Memory Cards/Mass Storage
Using PC Cards
Memory Card Mass Storage Volume Specifier
The front-panel PC card slot’s mass storage volume specifier is
":INTERNAL,4" and is the default mass storage device for the Test Set.
For example, to catalogue the contents of a PC card from the TESTS
(IBASIC Controller) screen, execute the following IBASIC command:
Example 7-2 Example
CAT ":INTERNAL,4"
or, if the mass storage location has not been changed,
Example 7-3 Example
CAT
If the MSI (Mass Storage Is) command has been used to change the
mass storage location to a different device, the ":INTERNAL,4"
designation must be used to access the PC card slot. Any changes to the
mass storage location made with the MSI (Mass Storage Is) command
are lost when the Test Set is turned off.
Memory Cards and Initialization
There are several types of PC cards available, and the following cards
are used with the Test Set:
• SRAM: used for Save/Recall and data storage
• Flash ROM: used when upgrading firmware
• OTP (One Time Programmable): used for Agilent Technologies
software
Flash ROM cannot be used for collecting data and Save/Recall.
Data cannot be saved to Flash ROM and OTP cards with the Test Set’s
PC card slot. SRAM can be initialized with the Test Set.
Initializing SRAM Cards for Save/Recall and Data Collection
1. Insert the SRAM card into the slot. If the card is uninitialized, a
message will appear at the top of the display.
2. Press
Shift and IO Confg to display the I/O CONFIGURE screen.
3. Using the knob, locate the FORMAT CARD field.
4. Select the PCMCIA Format Card field. A prompt will appear at the
top of the display. Pressing
Yes will erase and initialize the card.
