R&S FSP Instrument Functions
Analyzer Mode
• The third element is the Range element, which in turn is embedded in the
PowerClass element. It carries the settings information of the range. There have
to be at least three defined ranges: one reference range and at least one range to
either side of the reference range. The maximum number of ranges is twenty.
Note that there are two Limit nodes to be defined: one that gives the limit in
absolute values and one in relative values. Make sure units for the Start and Stop
nodes are identical for each Limit node. For details refer to the SWEEP LIST
softkey and the corresponding parameter description. The child nodes and
attributes of this element are shown in
Table 4-5 .
The following tables show the child nodes and attributes of each element and show
if a child node or attribute is mandatory for the analyzer to interpret the file or not.
Since the hierarchy of the XML can not be seen in the tables, either view one of the
default files already stored on the analyzer in the
D:\r_s\instr\sem_std directory or
check the structure as shown below.
Below, a basic example of the structure of the file is shown, containing all mandatory
attributes and child nodes. Note that the PowerClass element and the range ele-
ment are themselves elements of the Base Format element and are to be inserted
where noted. The separation is done here simply for reasons of a better overview.
Also, no example values are given here to allow a quick reference to the tables
above. Italic font shows the placeholders for the values.
• The Base Format element is structered as follows:
<RS_SEM_ACP_FileFormat Version=" 1.0.0.0 " Date="2008-02-28T15:21:39Z">
<Name> Standard </Name>

<!-- For contents of the PowerClass node see Table 4-4 -->
