Managing Datasets
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH provides functionality to manage (e.g. save, restore) data-
sets available in its internal memory or an external storage device.
Datasets
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH supports various types of datasets. The instructions below
primarily describe the management of datasets that you create on the R&S Cable
Rider ZPH during measurements, for example measurement results and configura-
tions. 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 Cable Rider ZPH 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
).
