Measurement files can be stored in the following formats:
*.jpg JPEG images, filename.jpg
*.mna Measurements, filename.mna
*.stp Setups, filename.stp

*.spa Spectrum Analyzer Measurements, filename.spa
*.csv Text file with Comma Separated Values (CSV), filename.csv
*.txt Text file with tab separated values, filename.txt
