TRF is the specific binary format for reference waveforms of the R&S
RTB2000. It con-
tains the amplitude value of each sample that is displayed on the screen (8 bit or 16 bit
long). For peak-detect waveforms, 2 values per sample are saved. The file contains
also time information (time of the first sample and the sample interval) and current
instrument settings.
The data can be loaded as reference waveform for further use on the instrument. It is
not intended for analysis outside the R&S
RTB2000.

Using references
To create and display a reference waveform
1. To activate the reference waveform and open the "References" menu, press the
[Ref] key twice.
2. To create a reference waveform from an active waveform:
a) Select the "Source" waveform.
b) Select the target "Reference".
c) Tap "Copy"
The new reference waveform is created on top of its origin, and it has the focus.
3. To change the scaling and position, use the horizontal and vertical [Position] and
[Scale] knobs.

To save a waveform as reference waveform
You can save any active waveform directly as reference waveform to a file.
1. To open the "References" menu, tap the menu icon and select "References".
2. Tap "Save Reference".
3. Select the waveform that you want to save: "Source".
4. Tap "Destination".
5. Select the "Location" (internal or USB).
6. If you save the file on USB flash device, you can set a target folder.
a) Double-tap the target folder. If the folder does not exist, you can create a new
one.
The folder opens.
b) Tap "Accept Dir." .
7. If necessary, change the "File Name".
8. Optionally, add a comment.
