You can export the measurement data, for example to store it on an external memory
device or copy it to a different computer for further analysis with different software. You
can also restore data that you have taken at some point and review it in the applica-
tion.
1. Select "Options" > "Settings".
2. Define the default directory in which to save the results in the "Save Path" input
field.
For each measurement, the R&S
QAR50 creates a subfolder that contains the
measurement data. This subfolder's name has a variable name that contains the
time stamp of the measurement:
yyyymmdd-hhmmss
.
3. Select "Autosave after every measurement" to use the auto save functionality.
When you are using the autosave feature, the R&S
QAR50 automatically stores
the results after each measurement.
Tip:
You can always save the measurement results deliberately using the "File" >
"Save" feature.
4. Select the data you want to save from the "Saving Result" dropdown menu.
● "Statistics": Exports the numerical results from the numerical results table.
● "Statistics, results and images": Exports all measurement results (numerical
results, trace data and 2D imaging data) and the images.
● "Statistics, results, images and volume": Exports all measurement results,
images and the raw 3D imaging data.
Exporting the raw 3D takes a few seconds to export because of the amount of
data that is exported (approx. 10
MB per measurement).
All exports include information about the measurement configuration.
5. Restore the measurement data using the "File" > "Open" feature.
Restoring measurement results requires the full measurement result data
(
results.mat
). The data package "Stat Pictures" only contains the
images (
.png)
and statistics (numerical results etc.) and is therefore not sufficient
to restore results.
A measurement dataset of results, image and volume contains the following files.
●
<yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss>_config.json
Contains general information about the measurement.
●
<yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss>_result_statistics.json
Contains the numerical measurement results (mean reflection etc.).
●
<yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss>_<measurement>.png
