Directory Structure on Windows XP and Vista
The UWBTracer/Trainer application stores files in a specific directory structure under the C:\Program
Files\LeCroy\UWBTracer directory. It also stores files in Windows-specific locations that differ for
Windows
®
XP and Windows Vista (which uses UAC).
In particular, Windows XP has a Documents and Settings\All Users folder, and Windows Vista has a
Users\Public folder, which are not equivalent.
The Windows XP All Users folder is not readily available to users and is for storing shared files, to which
normal user folders point using shortcuts.
The Windows Vista Users\Public folder and its subdirectories:
o Are available to all users logged onto a system (not just the person who installed the application).
o Are not hidden.
o Are always present, because it is provided by the Windows Vista OS installation.
o Are readable and writable by all users.
o Do not require Administrator privileges.
Methods of using shared folders differ for the two operating systems, so the UWBTracer/Trainer
application stores files on them differently, as described in the next two sections.
Windows XP - All Files
For UWBTracer/Trainer on Windows XP, all application and user files (such as sample files, user files,
default files, and scripts) are in the \Program Files\LeCroy\UWBTracer directory folder and its
subdirectories:
o Automation
o Documents
o Generation
o Sample Files
o Scripts (and versioned Scripts directories, such as Scripts3.00.307)
o x64
o x86
Windows Vista - User-modifiable Files
For UWBTracer/Trainer on Windows Vista, user-modifiable files are in the Windows Explorer
\Users\Public\Public Documents\LeCroy\UWBTracer\ folder, which is the same as the
Command Tool \Users\Public\Documents\LeCroy\UWBTracer\ folder.
The Command Tool name is the correct folder name when using scripts.
The Users\Public\Public Documents\LeCroy\UWBTracer folder contains files that the user can modify,
such as default.rec and default.opt, or the application creates at runtime, such as debug files and
device lists. It also has the directories:
o Automation
o Generation
o Sample Files
o Scripts (and versioned Scripts directories, such as Scripts3.00.307)
Windows Vista - Application Files
For UWBTracer/Trainer on Windows Vista, read-only application files (like the application, bus engines,
firmware, user manuals, help files, and read-me) are in the \Program Files\LeCroy\UWBTracer
folder. It has the directories:
o Documents
o x64
o x68
