The Location of FlexDCA User Files picture in this topic shows the FlexDCA folder (with subfolders) for saving files from either a dialog or over SCPI. These folders are the default location for saving specific types of files. For example, screen capture files that you save are, by default, saved in the \Screen Images subfolder. You can always save files to any folder that you wish including those on a network or external drive.

To protect you user files, it is recommended that you backup this folder to an external or network drive.

Subfolder Definitions
Subfolder	Contents	Remote Commands
Adapter Definitions	Saved TDR/TDT-mode adapter definitions for ECal modules. These definitions are created and selected in the Add New Adapter wizard (Configure ECal Adapters for DUT dialog box).	:TDR:ADAPters:STARt
Colorgrade-Grayscale	Saved eye-mode database files (.cgsx) that usually contain eye-diagram data. These files can be loaded into eye memory.	:DISK:EYE:SAVE :DISK:EYE:RECall
De-Embedding Networks	Saved de-embedding network files (.tf4) files created using waveform signal processing's 2-port and 4-port de-embeding operators. Using remote programming commands, you can load but cannot create and define networks.	:SPRocess:DEMBed:FNAMe :SPRocess:DDEMbed:FNAMe
Documentation Results	Saved Documentation Wizard report files (.zip). Documentation files can be configured and saved from the GUI. Remotely, they can be configured but not saved.	:DISK:DWIZard:FNAMe
Jitter Data	Saved jitter-mode database files (.jdx, .csv). These files can be recalled into the jitter memory.	:DISK:JDATabase:SAVE :DISK:JDATabase:RECall
Jitter Data	Saved Jitter Spectrum Analysis (JSA) files (.jsax) from an 86108A/B module with option JSA. These files can be saved from oscilloscope, eye, and jitter modes. These files can be recalled into the JSA memory.	:DISK:JSANalysis:SAVE :DISK:JSANalysis:RECall
Limit Lines	Saved limit line definitions for Oscilloscope and TDR/TDT modes.	:LLINe:LOAD:FNAMe
Limit Summaries	Saved Summary Report files (.sum) from measurement and mask limit testing.	:LTESt:MEASure:SSUMmary:FNAMe :LTESt:MTESt:SSUMmary:FNAMe
Masks	Supplied or modified eye-mode mask definition files (.mskx, .msk). These files can be loaded in eye mode.	:MTESt:LOAD
User Measurements	User-defined measurements in Eye, Oscilloscope, and TDR/TDT modes. Can be defined from Matlab or Python scripts.	:MEASure:EYE:USER:CFILe :MEASure:OSCilloscope:USER:CFILe :MEASure:TDR:USER:CFILe
Presets	Saved mini-setup files for:
	86108A/B Clock Recovery Configuration and 83496A/B Clock Recovery Configuration.	:CRECovery:PRESets
	Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) function configuration.	:SPRocess:DFEQualizer:PRESets
	Continuous Time Linear Equalizer (CTLE) function configuration.	:SPRocess:CTLequalizer:PRESets
	Linear Feedforward Equalizer function configuration	:SPRocess:FFEQualizer:PRESets

SCPI Scripts	Saved recorded SCPI scripts (.scpi) that can be loaded and saved	:SYSTem:MPButton:FUNCtion
Screen Images	Saved image files of the screen.	:DISK:SIMage:SAVE
Setups	Saved instrument setups.	:DISK:SETup:SAVE :DISK:SETup:RECall
SIRC Calibrations	Downloaded Option IRC SIRC (System Impulse Response Capability) data files for 86105C, 86105D, 86115D, or 86116C modules. These files cannot be saved or loaded via GUI or remote interface.	:CHANnel:SIRC
S-Parameter Data	Saved TDR/TDT-mode S-parameters Touchstone files.	:DISK:SPARameter:SAVE
TDR Calibration	Saved TDR/TDT-mode calibration files. These files are saved automatically during a calibration and can be loaded at a later date.	:TDR:CALIbration:DUT:LOAD
User App Menu Items	Place your own custom file and PC application shortcuts in this folder. These items will automatically appear on FlexDCA's Apps menu.	none
Waveforms	Saved oscilloscope-mode single-valued waveforms.	:DISK:WAVeform:SAVE :DISK:WAVeform:RECall
