File Transfer Function

Figure 16-7 on page 407 to obtain the length of the data to be

transferred.

Lines 450 to 500 Check the data length. If the data length is 0, the transfer process is

terminated.

Lines 530 to 550 Adjusts the format and reads the data part.

Line 560 Writes the data to the destination file. The maximum length of data

transferred at a time is 16 Kbytes. Therefore, if the size of the source

file is greater than 16 Kbytes, the transfer routine, lines 400 to 590, is

repeated until transferring all of the data is completed.

Lines 650 to 760 Provide a function to check that no error has occurred in the 4294A.

File Transfer from External Controller to 4294A

This program transfers a specified file in the current directory of the storage device (A

drive in the sample program of

Example 13-8 ) connected to the external controller to the

current directory of the selected storage device (RAM disk in the sample program of

Example 13-8 ) of the 4294A, giving a file name you desire.

This program, when executed, first prompts you to enter a source file name, as shown

below. Enter the name of a file you want to transfer. Note that the file name of the LIF

format can be distinguished between capital and small letters.

ENTER SOURCE FILE NAME ON CONTROLLER ?

Then, the program prompts you to enter a destination file name as shown below, and in this

example, SAMPLE.STA has been entered as the source file name. Enter the size correctly

in bytes.

ENTER SOURCE FILE NAME ON CONTROLLER ? SAMPLE.STA

ENTER SOURCE FILE SIZE ?

Then, the program prompts you to enter the destination file name, as shown below (in this

example, the size of SAMPLE.STA is 12288 bytes). Enter the file name you want to give

on the destination storage device. Note that a file with the same name will be overwritten,

if it already exists.

ENTER SOURCE FILE NAME ON CONTROLLER ? SAMPLE.STA

ENTER SOURCE FILE SIZE ? 12288

ENTER DESTINATION FILE NAME ON INSTRUMENT ?
