Folder system

SweepMe creates several folders at the first start which can be retrieved via the FolderManager:

import FolderManager
FoMa = FolderManager.FolderManager()
print(FoMa.get_path("TEMP"))

The above example initializes the FolderManager and prints out the path to the temp folder. Each folder is related to a certain string.

Key-Strings

• "TEMP" = tempfolder in local OS user folder
• "PUBLIC" = public SweepMe! folder of public operation system user
• "ROAMING" = SweepMe! folder in roaming folder of current operation system user
• "MAIN" = SweepMe!.exe installation folder
• "CUSTOMDEVICES" = DeviceClasses in PUBLIC
• "CALIBRATIONS" = Calibration folder in PUBLIC
• "CUSTOM"= Custom files in PUBLIC
• "EXTLIBS" = External libraries such as dlls in PUBLIC
• "DATA" = measurement data folder

Please note that the above keys only work properly in SweepMe!. If used with pysweepme, some of them fail because MAIN is incorrect.
