Chapter 6, Memory Cards/Mass Storage
Mass Storage Device Overview
Mass Storage Device Overview
As shown in Figure 19 on page 326, the Test Set has both internal and external
mass storage devices. There are five types of mass storage devices in the Test Set:
• On-board random-access memory disk (RAM disk) located on the Test Set’s internal
memory board
• On-board read-only memory disk (ROM disk) located on the Test Set’s internal
memory board
• External disk drives connected to the Test Set’s external GPIB
• Internal static random access memory (SRAM) cards which are inserted into the Test
Set’s front-panel Memory Card slot
• Internal read-only memory (ROM) cards (also called One-Time Programmable or OTP
cards) which are inserted into the Test Set’s front-panel Memory Card slot
NOTE: The hardware for reading-from and writing-to memory cards is located internal to the Test Set.
Therefore, the static random access memory (SRAM) cards and the read only memory (ROM)
cards are considered internal to the Test Set even thought the physical media must be inserted
into the Test Set’s front-panel Memory Card slot.
