• Lotus
1-2-3
format is a two-column format that is
compatible with many personal computer software packages.
Column 1 is the frequency point, and column 2 is the measured
value at that point.
• Touchstone format (also called S2P data format) is useful for
importing measurement data into CAE programs such as
Hewlett-Packard's Microwave Design System (MDS) and
Advanced Design System (ADS). Since your analyzer cannot
make full two-port measurements, saving in Touchstone
format is generally only useful when measuring reflection
response.
b. Choose
or
, depending on which
measurement channel data you want to save.
3. The filename appears on the network analyzer screen as
TRACE#.PRN
(for Lotus 1-2-3 files) or
TRACE#.S1P
(for Touchstone files), where # is
a number the analyzer selects from 0 to 999.
NOTE
Your analyzer can store files only on floppy disks that are formatted in
MS-DOS.
