7.3 Save
The recording and playback of signal data files is a multi-step process that involves
controls in several menus.
The menus that are involved in Record/Playback are:
–
Save, Recording (this menu)
–
Recall, "Recording" on page 2345 (under the Recall hardkey or the Recall icon in
the File panel)
–
Sweep, Recording tab
–
Sweep, Playback tab
–
Input/Output, "Data Source" on page 2195 tab
NOTE
A complete tutorial for the Record/Playback functionality, including how to load
and save Recording files, can be found under the Data Source tab in
Input/Output.

7.3.71 Data Type
Lets you save IQ data from the measurement using a specified file type (CSV, SDF,
TXT, BIN, BINX, BINF, ORB).
CSV
Comma-Separated Values. Excel compatible format. Plain text roughly three times the
size of BINF
TXT
Text format. Plain text roughly three times the size of BINF
SDF
Format developed for Keysight 89600 VSA Software. Note that due to differences in the
internal file structure, SDF files saved by X-Series are not guaranteed to work perfectly
with 89600
BIN
Interleaved 16-bit Q15 signed IQ file, in Big Endian format. Q15 is a DSP format in which
