10 File and data management
The R&S SMM100A uses files to save all instrument data. The instrument allows you
to save and to load instrument settings, and to import and to export user data for pro-
cessing in another instrument or later. Finally, you can create a screenshot of the cur-
rent settings displayed on the screen and save it as a file.
The main save and recall function for managing of the instrument settings is available
via the Save/Rcl key. Dedicated save/recall functions are available in the settings dia-
logs of the digital standards or accessible whenever user files are used.
This section focuses on the functions provided for managing of user data files and cov-
ers the topics listed below.
For information on the related remote control commands, refer to Chapter 13.5, "MME-
Mory subsystem" , on page 660.
For information on how to save the displayed setting in a file, refer to Chapter 10.10,
"Creating screenshots of current settings" , on page 515.
