specified then the value from the last File Restore Config, LDC command, File Load, File Save, LDD command, or SDD command is used.

The file name is optional and is a string describing the drive, directory, file name, and extension. If no drive or directory is specified then the current Windows drive or directory is used. In Windows, the current drive and directory can be changed at any time by another program, some internal operation, or some user action. This is probably not what you want. We very strongly recommend that you always specify the drive and directory. If no extension is specified then

.LB3/4/5/7 is used. If the file name is not specified then the current value from the last previous restore File Restore Config, LDC command, File Load, File Save, LDD command, or SDD command is used.

Note that the backslash character, “\”, has special meaning known as an escape sequence. To specify a single backslash you must send two. For example: “c:\\spiricon\\lba300pc\\data.lb3” is interpreted by the LBA-PC as “c:\spiricon\lba300pc\data.lb3”. Although other escape sequences are recognized there is no reason ever to use them with LBA-PC.

The current default values for the start record, number of records, and file name can be retrieved with the SDD? command.

The following example describes how to write all the frames from the frame buffer into a file called tophat.lb3.

Host sends

FileName=c:\\spiricon\\lba300pc\\tophat.lb3;

StartFrame=1;

10.6.2.5 RDR? - Read Results

The results displayed in the Results window can be downloaded by using the RDR? command. This query command has three optional parameters:

Labels	Text labels from left-hand column of results window
Values	Computations results from center column
Units	Applicable units from right-hand column

The Labels parameter specifies whether you want to download the text in the left-most column of the results windows. This text is a label describing the value in the center column. The Values parameter specifies you want to download the numeric values displayed in the center column of the results window. The Units parameter specifies you want to download the text in the right- most column of the results window. This text is a label describing the units that apply to the value in the center column. If more that one parameter is specified then each is sent in a separate response. If these parameters are not specified then the default is Labels=0, Values=1, Units=0.

The Labels and Values response changes when statistics is on. For the Labels response, each label displayed in the left-hand column of the results window is followed by the text “Mean, Deviation, Minimum, Maximum”. The statistics Results response is all numeric values in each row displayed in the center columns of the results windows. Therefore, when statistics is on, you will receive five numeric values for each row corresponding to the current, mean, deviation, minimum, and maximum values.
