MMEMory:STORe:TRACe <TraceName>, <TraceFile>[, <FormatInd>, <Format>,
<DecSeparator>, <FieldSeparator>]
Stores the trace data of a specified data trace to a trace file. Traces are created using
the CALCulate<Ch>:PARameter:SDEFine command.
Tip:*.s<n>p Touchstone files (<n> = 1, 2, 3, ...) are intended for a complete set of
<n>-port S-parameters. Data export fails if the active channel does not contain the full
set of <n>
2
traces or if the involved ports are not numbered consecutively, starting with
port 1. If the necessary traces are available, '<trc_name>' can be the name of any
of the traces. To create Touchstone files while less than <n>
2
single-ended traces are
available, use MMEMory:STORe:TRACe:PORTs.
Setting parameters:
<TraceName> Name of an existing data trace in the active recall set (string
parameter).
<TraceFile> String parameter to specify the name and directory of the cre-
ated trace file. Several file formats for trace files are supported.
The file extensions *.s<n>p, *.csv, and *.dat for Touch-
stone, ASCII, and Matlab files are mandatory. To generate a
multiport Touchstone file *.s2p, *.s3p..., the channel must
contain traces for the full set of S-parameters; the '<trc_name>'
is ignored. If no path is specified the analyzer uses the current
directory, to be queried with MMEMory:CDIRectory?.
<FormatInd> FORMatted | UNFormatted
UNFormatted - unformatted data export specified by the second
optional parameter.
FORMatted - formatted data export (for *.csv and *.dat files
only).
If the first optional parameter is omitted, the command stores
unformatted data.
<Format> COMPlex | LINPhase | LOGPhase
COMPlex - complex values (real and imaginary part)
LINPhase - linear magnitude and phase.
LOGPhase - dB-magnitude and phase.
If the second optional parameter is omitted, the command stores
complex data.
<DecSeparator> POINt | COMMa
POINt - decimal separator: point.
COMMa - decimal separator: comma.
If the third optional parameter is omitted, points are used.
<FieldSeparator> SEMicolon | COMMa | TABulator | SPACe
SEMicolon - field separator: semicolon
COMMa - field separator: comma.
