Loading cable factor files
to the 9102
One or more cable factor files can be transferred to the 9102 and
reside in the internal memory of the 9102. They will not be taken into
account until they are activated.
1 Select
Instrument > Data Transfer (Ctrl-D), or in the EMF Cable Editor
menu, select
Data Transfer.
The Data Transfer menu opens.
2 In the EMF Cable Factors tab, select a directory and file(s) on the
right-hand side and press
< copy.
The selected files are transferred to the 9102.
Working with settings
The 9102 allows to store and recall settings (see section “Working with
stored settings” on page 52). This can be useful when you want to
perform measurements under exactly the same conditions as at an
earlier time. With the 9100 Data Exchange Software, you can transfer
the settings from a 9102 to the PC for backup purposes or to replicate
the settings to another 9102. Another useful application is to manipu-
late settings on the PC; this is easily done because the settings file is
editable and the format consists of SCPI commands. Changing or
adding a setting is equivalent to changing or adding a line in the
settings file.
Exchanging a settings
file between 9102 and
PC
The settings stored on the 9102 can be copied to the PC with the 9100
Data Exchange Software. Use the Settings tab within the Data Transfer
utility to copy files between the PC and the 9102. See section
“Managing files on the PC and on the 9102” on page 252 for more
details.
Changing 9102 settings
on the PC

transfer and usage on the 9102.
1 In the 9100 Data Exchange Software, select
Tools > Setting Editor
or press
