Save/Recall Memory Allocation
Types of Storable Information
The instrument states can contain the instrument state, calibration
data, and trace data.
Inst State (Instrument state) Data sufficient to set up the
network analyzer. The amount of memory used is
independent of the number of measurement points
unless memory trace functions are used. Memory trace
functions are and .
You should save instrument states when you want to
return to the same instrument setup.
Cal (Calibration data) Error correction arrays. The amount
of memory used increases with the number of data
points. Reflection cals are larger than transmission
cals. The instrument state is automatically saved with
cal data. You should save calibrations to avoid having
to repeat the calibration procedure.
Data (Measurement or trace data) The amount of memory
used increases with the number of data points. When
data is put into memory (by pressing ) it
becomes a memory trace.
Save ASCII Saves trace data in ASCII format for output to
spreadsheets or to CAE programs.
