Command Syntax

:TIMebase:DESKew:FIXTure:FNAMe "<path substitution string>\subfolder\filename"

Where:

  • "<path substitution string> is a string that expands into a specific file path. For example, %USER_DATA_DIR%.
  • "subfolder" is an optional path folder. For example, %USER_DATA_DIR%\Setups.
  • "filename" is a string without the filename extension.

Query Syntax

:TIMebase:DESKew:FIXTure:FNAMe?

Description

Specifies the filename, path, and extension of an instrument setup file (.setx) during the automated fixture deskew (:DESKew:FIXTure command). The setup file can be recalled at a later date to load the deskew data without having to rerun the fixture deskew. By default, the instrument setup file is saved in the %USER_DATA_DIR%\Setups folder shown in the following pictures. However, you can save the file to any writable folder. Before issuing this command, you must enable the saving of the deskew data with the :DESKew:FIXTure:SAVe command.

Requires FlexDCA revision A.02.00 and above.

Parent Command

Default User Folder

User-Data Folders

The default folder for storing setup files is in %USER_DATA_DIR%\Setups as shown in this picture. It is good practice to include a path substitution string with the filename. For example, %USER_DATA_DIR%\Setups\filename.

File names must include a path when using the child :FNAMe command. The :FNAMe command is not affected by a Default Setup or Factory Preset.

Specifying a path using a path substitution string in the filename ensures that the file will be saved in (or loaded from) the standard user-data folder. Failure to use a path substitution string may result either in a file created in an parent folder or a file error.
