Storing large amounts of I/Q data
When storing large amounts of I/Q data to a file, consider the following tips to improve
performance:
●
If capturing and storing the I/Q data is the main goal of the measurement and eval-
uation functions are not required, use the basic I/Q data acquisition mode (see
●
Use a HiSlip or raw socket connection to export the data from the R&S
FSV/A to a
PC.
●
Export the data in binary format rather than ASCII format (see
for Returned Values: ASCII Format and Binary Format"
●
Use the "Compatible" or "IQPair" data mode (see
Description for I/Q Data Files"
●
If only an extract of the available data is relevant, use the
command to store only the required section of data.

TRACe:IQ:DATA
This command initiates a measurement with the current settings and returns the cap-
tured data from I/Q measurements.
This command corresponds to:
INIT:IMM;*WAI;:
However, the
TRACe:IQ:DATA?
command is quicker in comparison.
Note:
Using the command with the *RST values for the
command, the
following minimum buffer sizes for the response data are recommended: ASCII format
10 kBytes, binary format: 2 kBytes
