Element
Description
UserData
Optional: contains user, application or device-specific XML data which is not part of
the iq-tar specification. This element can be used to store additional information, e.g.
the hardware configuration. User data must be valid XML content.
PreviewData
Optional: contains further XML elements that provide a preview of the I/Q data. The
preview data is determined by the routine that saves an iq-tar file (e.g. R&S
FSV/A).
For the definition of this element refer to the
RsIqTar.xsd
schema. Note that the
preview can be only displayed by current web browsers that have JavaScript enabled
and if the XSLT stylesheet
open_IqTar_xml_file_in_web_browser.xslt
is
available.
Example: ScalingFactor
Data stored as
int16
and a desired full scale voltage of 1 V
ScalingFactor
= 1 V / maximum int16 value = 1 V / 2

= 3.0517578125e-5 V
