Memory Capacity
When you exit from the EDIT menu, the files you created with the editors are
saved into the AWG2021 internal memory (RAM). Up to 400 files (depending
on size) can be saved in the internal memory.
NOTE. The data in this instrument’s internal memory is lost when the power is
switched off. Therefore, you must save any necessary data to mass memory.
Like internal memory, the AWG2021 internal non-volatile memory (NVRam)
can hold up to 400 files. The NVRam has 512 Kbytes, almost all of which is
used for saving files. The contents of this memory are retained even when the
power is switched off.
The capacity of a floppy disk depends on its format. Disks can use directory
hierarchies and files can be stored in each of the directories. The extension for a
directory is .DIR. For further information on creating directories, see the
explanation in “Using the Disk Menu” in Section 4E, “UTILITY Menu.”
Figure 3 -169 shows the relationship between loading and saving, and the
different types of memory.
