3.5 Description of the Application Windows
3.5.1 Main Window
The
Main Window
(Fig.
) allows the user to organize the measurement cam-
paigns. The spreadsheet format is used to prepare sample lists, which can
be worked off accordingly. The main functionality for organizing the data,
results and further common tasks (e.g. saving, loading, exporting of data)
can be controlled via the main menu. ”At a glance”-information and mea-
surement results are also available.
All project relevant information can be stored in
Project Files
. With the cur-
rent software release the new
mas
file format is introduced and replaces
the previously used
sqc
format.
The information saved in
mas
Project Files
are:
•
Traces, masks, results and settings for each sample
•
Calibration and reference measurements
•
Calibration kit data
•
Time base and frequency settings
•
Last axes and cursors states
•
Project comment
•
System diagnosis information
Please note:
sqc
files are still supported but do store less information (e.g.
axes settings, any kind of cursors, calibration kit data, de-embedding)
.

. These contain a range of other data in addition to the actual TDR
measurement. The following is a list of some selected information stored in
