Managing Datasets
The R&S Spectrum Rider provides functionality to manage (e.g. save, restore, delete
and export) datasets available in its internal memory or an external storage device.
Datasets
The R&S Spectrum Rider supports various types of datasets. The instructions below
primarily describe the management of datasets that you create on the R&S Spectrum
Rider during measurements, for example measurement results and configurations.
Note that these datasets have the file extension
.set
.
Datasets with the file extension
.set
are an image of measurement results and config-
urations. Thus, you can subsequently reproduce the context of the measurement.
Using the R&S InstrumentView software, you can use the datasets for documentation
purposes or post-processed it for a more detailed analysis later on. Note that datasets
also contain calibration data if calibration has been performed.
Templates
The R&S Spectrum Rider also supports various other types of datasets or templates.
Such templates mainly contain additional requirements for a particular measurement,
like limit lines or channel tables.
Creating and editing of these templates are only possible with the functionality provi-
ded by the R&S InstrumentView software package. Note that the file extension
depends on the application of the template (for example, a template containing a chan-
nel table has the extension
.chntab
).
For more information on working with templates and datasets, refer to the documenta-
tion of the R&S InstrumentView software package.
Data synchronization
The R&S InstrumentView features data synchronization that matches the data availa-
ble between the R&S Spectrum Rider and the PC.
1. Select "File Transfer" from the "Instrument" menu.
The software opens the "File Transfer" dialog box.
2. Select the "Template & Result" synchronization button to process data synchro-
nization between the computer and instrument.
This data synchronization updates all files that have been created or edited with
the R&S InstrumentView software package to the instrument and vice versa. (Note
that template can only be created and edited in the PC, see
3. Alternatively, data can be transferred in a single direction using the direction but-
ton between the PC and instrument and vice versa.
