Command 201
Archive Operations Command
This command allows the host to manage the contents of FLASH memory. The content of FLASH
memory is semi-permanent in that it will not be altered unless the user chooses to do so. FLASH memory
will remain in tact even if power to LabPro is lost. With this command one can store, retrieve or erase
calculator programs, lists of data or entire data sets to and from the FLASH memory. The DataMate
program can already manage saved experiments (lists and data sets in the FLASH memory), and the
DataDir program can be used to manage calculator programs stored in FLASH memory and allow you to
perform a memory cleanup or Garbage Collection.
