Saving to Mass Storage
Saving to Mass Storage Use the Mass Storage menu, to save and recall files to a mass storage device.
The mass storage device is normally a memory card that has been inserted
into the front-panel card slot. You can also store data to a GPIB disk drive, and
to internal random-access memory (RAM) disk, refer to “Selecting and For-

Each file that you save has a name that consists of a prefix followed by a cus-
