A Package
A typical package is divided into two parts: The part, the header, is made up of keywords
and setup information. The second part, the data, consists of one or more arrays of
data. Example 1 shows the basic structure of a package:
Example 1, A
The “header” part CITIFILE
NAME MEMORY
VAR 3
The “data” part BEGIN
END
When stored in a disk there may be more than one package. With the 8510 network
analyzer, for example, storing a “memory save eight of the memories held in the
instrument. This results in a single which contains eight packages
The Header
The header section contains information about the data that It may include
information about the setup of the instrument that measured the data. The header
shown in Example 1 has just the bare minimum of information necessary; no instrument setup
information was included.
An Data
An array is numeric data that is arranged with one data element per A package
may contain more than one array of data. Arrays of data start after the BEGIN keyword, and
the END keyword follow the last data element in an array.
A package does not need to include data arrays; for instance, could
be used to store the current state of an instrument. In that case the keywords VAR, DATA,
BEGIN, and END would not be required.
