Disk Operation
Introduction
The following provides information on the operation of the disk drive used in an
Agilent 71612 error performance analyzer for the storage of user patterns.
Running out of Disk Space
When the contents of the user pattern memory is being stored to disk, there may not be
enough room on the disk to hold the new pattern. When this occurs a message is displayed
at the bottom of the display. To remedy this situation the user must make more disk space
available, and resave his pattern while the pattern remains in the user pattern memory.
The two options available, either to insert a disk with more space, or to delete one of the
other disk-based pattern stores to release more space on the same disk, are described in
detail below:
An example of the first option is:
1. If there is a formatted, initialized disk available, insert it, and skip to step 4.
2. Enter the top-level function menu.
3. Insert a disk in the drive, then select ,
.
4. Re-enter the editor as follows: select , and
.
5. Select then save to the original pattern store.
and the second option:
1. Enter the top-level function menu and select .
2. Select the softkey, and choose one of the disk-based patterns
from the pattern selection window which is no longer required. The pattern selected is
deleted from the disk, and its disk space is available for other patterns.
3. Re-enter the editor as follows: select , and
.
4. Select the save to a pattern store.
