Limit   Limits may be exported into a data file with a .csv extension. They 
may be imported from that data file; they may also be imported 
from a legacy limit file with a .lim extension. The .lim files meet 
the specification for limit files contained in the EMI measurement 
guide, HP E7415A. See “Limit Data Files” on page 47.
Signal List  A Signal List file contains a copy of one of the signal lists 
obtained during measurement. See “Signal List Data Files” on 
page 49.
Scan Table  A Scan Table file contains a copy of one of the files obtained 
during a measurement. 
Meas Results  In the Frequency Scan measurement, the Meas Result file is in the 
format of .html or .pdf. It is a report that contains the measurement 
result. You can configure the content using either the setup form 
or softkeys. Using a mouse and keyboard may make filling out the 
form easier, but you can also accomplish the task through the front 
panel keys. The checkboxes or radio buttons on the setup form are 
tied to the corresponded softkeys as you select them. See “Meas 
Results Data Files” on page 50.
 
Data file examples
Most of the files are text files in .csv (comma separated values) form, to make them 
importable into Excel or other spreadsheet programs. The data follows the DATA
