Various Commands

Creating directory (folder)

To create a directory (folder), use the following command:

:MMEMory:MDIRectory

Deleting file (directory)

To delete a file or a directory, use the following command:

:MMEMory:DELete

Copying file

To copy a file, use the following command:

:MMEMory:COPY

Transferring files

File transfer from the external controller to the E5052B can be possible by reading data from a file on the controller and then writing them to the file on the E5052B.

:MMEMory:DATA

Also, file transfer from the E5052B to the external controller can be possible by reading data from a file on the E5052B using the commands as query and then writing them to the file on the controller.

Retrieving data from storage

To retrieve information for the storage that is built in the E5052B (usage, property of file located in a specified directory), use the following command;

:MMEMory:CATAlog

Sample Program

The following example shows a sample program for transferring files between the external controller and the E5052B.This program reads out data from a specified file on the E5052B and then writes them to a specified file on the external controller.
