copy(source: str, target: str) → None[source]
# MMEMory:COPY
driver.massMemory.copy(source = 'abc', target = 'abc')

Copies an existing file to a new file.

Parameters:

  • source – String parameter. Contains name and path of the file to be copied. Wildcards (* and ?) are allowed.

  • target – String parameter. Contains name and path of the new file. If the file already exists, it is overwritten without notice. If no file destination is specified, the source file is written to the current directory specified with method RsMxo.massMemory.current_directory() .

delete(file_path: str) → None[source]
# MMEMory:DELete
driver.massMemory.delete(file_path = 'abc')

Removes the specified file/files. To delete directories, use method RsMxo.massMemory.delete_directory() .

Parameters:

file_path – String parameter to specify the name and directory of the file to be removed. Wildcards (* and ?) are allowed. If no path is defined, the current directory is used, specified with method RsMxo.massMemory.current_directory() .

delete_directory(directory_path: str) → None[source]
# MMEMory:RDIRectory
driver.massMemory.delete_directory(directory_path = 'abc')

Deletes the specified directory.

Parameters:

directory_path – String parameter to specify the directory to be deleted. This directory must be empty, otherwise it is not deleted.

get_current_directory() → str[source]
# MMEMory:CDIRectory
value: str = driver.massMemory.get_current_directory()

Changes the default directory for file access.

get_drives() → str[source]
# MMEMory:DRIVes
value: str = driver.massMemory.get_drives()

Returns the path list of available drives.

Returns:

drives: List of strings, for example: Instrument only: ‘/home/storage/userData’ Instrument with connected USB flash drive: ‘/home/storage/userData’,’/run/media/usb/MyDriveName/MYDATA’. MYDATA is the partition name, which is also shown in the file explorer. Instrument with connected USB flash drive: ‘/home/storage/userData’,’/run/media/usb/MyDriveName/8AF8-3EBA’. 8AF8-3EBA is an example ID. ID is used if the partition does not have a name, or the name cannot be read.

get_name() → str[source]
# MMEMory:NAME
value: str = driver.massMemory.get_name()

Defines the filename for a screenshot that is stored to a file.

Returns:

filename: String parameter specifying path and filename of the screenshot.

make_directory(directory_name: str) → None[source]
# MMEMory:MDIRectory
driver.massMemory.make_directory(directory_name = 'abc')

Creates a new directory with the specified name.

Parameters:

directory_name – String parameter to specify the new directory. If the path consists of several subdirectories, the complete tree is created if necessary.

move(source: str, target: str) → None[source]
# MMEMory:MOVE
driver.massMemory.move(source = 'abc', target = 'abc')

Moves the specified file to a new location on the same drive and renames it.

Parameters:

  • source – String parameter, contains name and path of the file to be copied. Wildcards (* and ?) are allowed. Therefore, specify a directory for FileDestination. Renaming is not possible.

  • target – String parameter. Contains name and path of the new file. If no path is specified, the FileSource directory is used - the file is renamed.

recall(file_source: str) → None[source]
# MMEMory:RCL
driver.massMemory.recall(file_source = 'abc')

Restores the instrument settings from the specified file. The stored instrument settings do not include waveform generator settings. This command has the same effect as the combination of method RsMxo.massMemory.load.state.set() and *RCL.

save(file_destination: str) → None[source]
# MMEMory:SAV
driver.massMemory.save(file_destination = 'abc')

Stores the current instrument settings to the specified file. Waveform generator settings are not included. This command has the same effect as the combination of *SAV and method RsMxo.massMemory.store.state.set() .

Parameters:

file_destination – String parameter specifying path and filename of the target file. Wildcards are not allowed.

set_current_directory(directory: str) → None[source]
# MMEMory:CDIRectory
driver.massMemory.set_current_directory(directory = 'abc')

Changes the default directory for file access.

Parameters:

directory – String parameter to specify the directory.

set_name(filename: str) → None[source]
# MMEMory:NAME
driver.massMemory.set_name(filename = 'abc')

Defines the filename for a screenshot that is stored to a file.

Parameters:

filename – String parameter specifying path and filename of the screenshot.

Cloning the Group

# Create a copy of the original group, that exists independently
massMemory_copy = driver.massMemory.clone()
