Hello everybody!

I want to transfer a file (*.txt or *.bin) from my 90804A scope to my remote pc connected by LAN ports. I'd like to know if exists any specific command to do this (like the :MMEM:TRAN command in the Agilent's ENAs).

Thank you in advance.

:waveform:data? grabs the raw data

but check out the porgmamer's guide...

:disk:sav ... you can save over a mapped network drive.

Thank you.

However, i'd like to transfer directly a txt file from the scope to the remote PC. Would it be possible with the DISK:COPY command?

Thank you again.

The remote commands do not directly support a way to transfer a file from the controlling PC to the scope, and vice versa. If you mount a scope directory on the PC, or a PC directory on the scope, using the built-in Windows "share" capability, then saving a file or copying a file into that directory would have the effect of copying it from one device to another.

I use that a lot when I want to create files (such as transfer function files for InfiniiSim) in MATLAB on the PC and have them used on the scope. My code writes the data to z:\data\xxx.xxx, then tells the scope to read from c:\data\xxx.xxx
