Managing bumber types
To get valid results in the bumper measurement, you have to select the bumper model
you want to measure first.
Upon delivery, the R&S
QAR does not contain any bumper data. For each bumper type
you want to measure, you have to add the corresponding bumper characteristics first,
based on the CAD data of your bumpers.
If you want to add new bumper types, contact your Rohde
&
Schwarz representative.
1. For bumper models that are already available on the R&S
QAR:
Select the model from the "Bumper Type" menu. This menu contains the data of all
bumper types that are currently stored on your R&S
QAR.
2. For bumper models that are not yet available on the R&S
QAR:
a) Copy the bumper data that you got from us into the following directory on your
R&S
QAR:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Rohde-Schwarz\QARBumperUI\config
b) Start or restart the software.
c) Select the bumper model from the "Bumper Type" menu.
Managing measurement results
You can export the measurement data, for example to store it on an external memory
device or copy it to a different computer for further analysis with different software. You
can also restore data that you have taken at some point and review them in the soft-
ware.
1. Select "Options" > "Recording".
2. Define the default directory in which to save the results in the "Result Folder" input
field.
For each measurement, the R&S
QAR creates a folder that contains the measure-
ment data.
3. Select "Autosave" to use the auto save functionality..
When you are using the autosave feature, the R&S
QAR automatically stores the
results after each measurement.
Tip:
You can always save the measurement results deliberately with the keyboard
shortcut Ctrl-S or from the "File" menu.
4. Select the data you want to save from the "Results To Save" dropdown menu.
