Saving/calling the limit table
You can save the limit table to a file that you can then freely bring up on the screen later
and use. You can import a file saved in CSV format (extension: *.csv) into spreadsheet
software on a PC for later use (a numerical value will be saved as strings that include its
unit).
The limit table is saved in the following format.
Example 11-1 Limit Table Saved in CSV Format
"# Channel 1"
"# Trace 1"
Type, Begin Stimulus, End Stimulus, Begin Response, End Response
MAX, 200.0000000 MHz, 400.0000000 MHz, -100 dB, -100 dB
MAX, 490.0000000 MHz, 510.0000000 MHz, -10 dB, -10 dB
MIN, 490.0000000 MHz, 510.0000000 MHz, -20 dB, -20 dB
MIN, 600.0000000 MHz, 800.0000000 MHz, -100 dB, -100 dB
On the first line, the channel number of the active channel that was valid when the file was
saved is output.
On the second line, the trace number of the active trace that was valid when the file was
saved is output.
The third line provides the header showing the items for the segments to be output on the
fourth and later lines.
Data on segments are output on the fourth and later lines.
