Filenames
The R&S LCX assigns generic filenames to internally created files, composed of an
identification of the function, if applicable, and a time stamp. For user-specific files, you
can assign a dedicated filename. You can compose a filename of any length, with all
characters allowed, i.e. letters, numbers and, with some exceptions, also special char-
acters. The instrument blocks unauthorized characters in the on-screen keyboard auto-
matically.
File extensions
The R&S LCX distinguishes the file extensions according to the specific file content.
The file extensions are predefined, see Section 9.1.5, "Data and file types",
on page 125.
File handling
To access files and the file system of the R&S LCX or to use the general file manage-
ment functions such as copying and moving data, see Section 9.1.3, "File manager
settings", on page 122.
To transfer files from and to the instrument or to exchange files, use one of the follow-
ing alternatives:
●
Connect a memory stick to one of the USB A interfaces. The instrument recognizes
automatically a connected memory stick and assigns the /USB1A/... drive to it.
●
Connect the R&S LCX to a LAN, see Section 10, "Network operation and remote
control", on page 149.
An instrument connected to a LAN supports the standard file transfer method (ftp
protocol) from a remote client. Using the remote file transfer, you can access
operational files, settings, documents, log files and the contents on the USB mem-
ory, see "Remote file access (FTP)" on page 151.
File contents
To keep the file size small and to speed up processing times, the R&S LCX does not
save the entire instrument settings, but rather the settings that differ from the preset
state.
9.1.3 File manager settings
With the "File Manager" functions, you can exchange files between the internal and an
external memory, provided you have connected a USB memory device.
Access:
1. Press the [settings] key at the front panel.
2. In the "Device" tab, select "File Manager".
