The Mass MEMory subsystem contains functions that provide access to the instrument’s setup and data storage.
:MMEMory:DATA? <file name>
Title
Transfer Data
Description
Transfers the data stored in the given file from the instrument to the controlling program. This is a query only. Data is transferred in the form of <header><block>. The ASCII <header> specifies the number of data byes. It looks like #AX, where A is the number of digits in X and X is the number of bytes in <block>. <file name> should be enclosed in either single quotes (‘ ’) or double quotes (“ ”) and should contain a file extension (for example, .stp, .jpg), and the file must not be larger than 262136 bytes. Use the command MMEMory:MSIS to set the current storage location.

:MMEMory:MSIS INTernal|USB :MMEMory:MSIS?
Title
Storage Location
Description
Sets the storage location. Setting the storage location to INTernal will set the current storage location to be the internal memory. Setting the storage location to USB will set the current storage location to be the USB Flash drive. Note that the storage location can be set independently and can be different for remote operation and front panel operation. Changing the copy location remotely does not change the location that is set and displayed on the front panel. Similarly, changing the copy location via the front panel does not affect the location that is used by the remote operation commands.
Note that the storage location must be available in order for it to be set. Also note that the command will always succeed even if the external memory device is not present.

:MMEMory:MSIS:COPY
Title
Copy From Current Location To Destination
Description
Copies all measurements, setups, and JPEG files that are stored in the current storage location to the “copy to destination” location.
Sets the destination to which measurements and setups in the current storage location are copied. Setting the location to INTernal copies the files that are stored at the current storage location into the internal memory when the command :MEMMory:MSIS:COPY is sent.
Setting the location to USB copies the files that are stored at the current storage location into the USB Flash drive when the command :MMEM:MSIS:COPY is sent.
Note that the storage location can be set independently and can be different for remote operation and front panel operation. Changing the save location remotely does not change the location that is set and displayed on the front panel. Similarly, changing the save location via the front panel does not affect the location that is used by the remote operation commands. Also note that the command will always succeed even if the external memory device is not present.

:MMEMory:STORe:JPEG <file name>
Title
Save Screen as JPEG
Description
Saves the current screen measurement as a JPEG file. This will save the screen as a JPEG file specified by <file name> with the extension .jpg to the current storage location. <file name> should be enclosed in either single quotes (‘ ’) or double quotes (“ ”) and should not contain a file extension. Use the command MMEMory:MSIS to set the current storage location.
