Retrieving and Restoring Data Using the LAN

To copy configurations from setup.raw

1 Set up the configuration.

You can do this from the XWindow interface or from the front panel.

2 Access the logic analyzer's file system.

Refer to the chapter "Accessing the Logic Analyzer File System".

3 Copy the setup.raw file from the appropriate directory.

For system configurations, the appropriate directory is \system . For

analyzer configurations, the appropriate directory is \slot_a . For

oscilloscope configurations, the appropriate directory is \slot_b .

Raw configuration files are binary format files that can be transferred

to your computer and then reloaded into the logic analyzer later. Raw

configuration files are not transferable between logic analyzer models.

The setup.raw file is overwritten whenever you change the

configuration.

Dynamic Configuration Files

Configuration files are dynamic files. When you look at the logic

analyzer file system, dynamic files show a file size of 1 or 0. 0 means

there isn't anything available and 1 means there is. When you request

the dynamic file, the logic analyzer creates it. While the analyzer is

creating the file, it will not respond to other requests. Because the

analyzer does not know the file size until it is created, some NFS

systems have trouble copying dynamic files. If the cp command does

not appear to work, try using dd.
