Copying Files Using IBASIC Commands
Copying Files Using IBASIC Commands
Files can be copied from one mass storage device to another using the
IBASIC COPY command. For example, to copy a file from a PC card to
the Test Set’s internal RAM, execute the following IBASIC command
from the TESTS (IBASIC Controller) command line:
Example 7-4 Example
COPY "FM_TEST:INTERNAL,4" TO "FM_TEST:MEMORY,0"
Files on one PC card can be copied to another PC card as follows:
• Insert the PC card containing the file to be copied.
• LOAD the desired file from the PC card into the Test Set.
• Remove the original PC card.
• Insert the destination PC card in the Test Set.
• SAVE the file to the destination PC card.
Copying an Entire Volume
An entire volume can be copied from one mass storage device to the
same type of mass storage device using the volume copy form of the
COPY command. The destination volume must be as large as, or larger
than, the source’s volume. The directory and any files on the
destination volume are destroyed. The directory size on the destination
volume becomes the same size as the source media. Disc-to-disc copy
time is dependent on the mass storage device type. The volume copy
form of the COPY command was designed to copy like-media to
like-media and like-file-systems to like-file-systems. For example, to
copy the entire contents of one internal RAM volume to another
internal RAM volume, execute the following IBASIC command from the
TESTS (IBASIC Controller) command line:
