 Data Handling
Device Directory
• A device directory is a structure that contains all basic test
setup elements

• Each device configured on the V93000 SOC Series has its

own device directory

• Each time you use the system, a file

called .device_inuse_soc is stored in your home directory

• This file remembers which device you were using last, and
sets a path to its device directory

• If a project directory is being used, a lock file is created in

the device directory. This prevents other users from using
that device software.
