1) Callback status and calibration data:
a) sta file
The sta file contains the status data of the instrument, including instrument setting, trace data,
limit line and marker.
b) cal file
The cal file only contains the calibration data, excluding the instrument status data. The
correction accuracy of the calibration data is related to the instrument status setting; therefore,
in order to obtain the highest measurement accuracy, the instrument setting during file recall
shall be consistent with that during calibration, otherwise the calibration accuracy can’t be
guaranteed.
c) cst file
As the cst file contains all measurement status and calibration data in the instrument, the recall
can save the test time.
2) File recall method:
Select the menu path:
[File]
→
[Recall...]
, and the
Open
dialog will be displayed.
Select the type of the loaded file in
[File Type]
