USB Usage
ADDvantage-32 PLUS ● AC to DC Power Converter
11-2
The ADDvantage-32 PLUS performs read-to-read information previously stored on the
USB memory stick and performs write operations to store information to a USB memory.
All information on the USB memory stick may also be accessed with any personal
computer that has a USB port. The USB memory stick will appear as a file directory
structure when installed and viewed on a personal computer.
All read to and write from operations performed with the USB memory stick are executed
from or to specific directories on the memory stick. Figure 11-2 shows the directory
structure the user can expect to see. As shown, there must be an ADD-32 PLUS
subdirectory located at the root level of the USB memory stick.
Under the ADD-32 PLUS subdirectory, there will be one or more additional
subdirectories. Those subdirectories will have a name of DRIVE###, where the ###
represents the LAN ID of the drive as set by jumpers on connector J8 of the drive (refer
to Figure 11-3). A memory stick will have only one ADD-32 PLUS subdirectory, but
that subdirectory may contain more than one DRIVE### subdirectory.
The DRIVE### subdirectory will contain additional files and subdirectories that contain
information that is specific to the drive that has a LAN ID of ###. For example, a
directory of DRIVE001 will contain files and subdirectories for the drive with a LAN ID
of 001.
The DRIVE### may contain three additional subdirectories. One of the subdirectories
will contain drive calibration and configuration files that may be read to and/or written
from the memory stick. The name of the subdirectory will be the part number and
version number of the software contained on the drive, and will be in the form of
696xxxVyy, where 696xxx is the software part number and yy is the version number of
the software. The drive will only read calibration and configuration files from the
directory that matches the software part number and version. For example, the drive
with a LAN ID of 001 and a software part number of 696002 version 11 will only read
and write calibration and configuration files from the directory ADD-32
PLUS/DRIVE001/696002V11. All the calibration and configuration files must have the
file extension of “.add”. Note that if this directory does not exist on the USB memory
stick (i.e., the memory stick is new and has no ADD-32 PLUS files or directories on it),
the first calibration and configuration USB store operation will create the directories and
subdirectories.
The DRIVE### may also contain a SIGNAL subdirectory. The drive will use this
directory to store signal analyzer data files in response to a keyboard command
prompting storage of the files to the USB memory stick. Only the signal analyzer files
for DRIVE### will be stored to this directory. Note that if this directory does not exist
on the USB memory stick (i.e., the memory stick is new and has no ADD-32 PLUS files
or directories on it), the first signal analyzer USB store operation will created the
directories and subdirectories.
