Table 3- 1.
Working with Files
• File Softkeys on page 63
• Viewing a List of Stored Files on page 64
• Storing a File on page 65
• Loading (Recalling) a Stored File on page 67

• Working with Instrument State Files on page 69
• Selecting the Default Storage Media on page 73
The signal generator recognizes several types of files, such as instrument state files, license files, and
list sweep files. Files can be stored either in the signal generator’s internal storage or on the USB
media. This section provides an overview of how to navigate the signal generator’s file menus, and
how to view, store, load, and move files.
The Agilent MXG non- volatile internal memory is allocated according to a Microsoft compatible file
allocation table (FAT) file system. Refer to the Programming Guide.
