MMEMory:STORe:STATe <numeric_value>,'<file_name>'
Stores the configuration data of the current setup to a specified setup file.
MMEMory:STORe:STATe renames the current setup, appending a .zvx extension. See example for
MMEMory:LOAD:STATe.
1 (the <numeric_value> is used for compatibility with the SCPI standard but is
ignored).
String parameter to specify the name and directory of the created setup file.
The default extension (manual control) for setup files is *.zvx, although other
extensions are allowed. If no path is specified the analyzer uses the current
directory, to be queried with MMEMory:CDIRectory?.
MMEMory:STORe:TRACe '<trc_name>','<file_name>'[,UNFormatted | FORMatted,
COMPlex | LINPhase | LOGPhase, POINt | COMMa, SEMicolon | COMMa |
TABulator | SPACe]
Stores the data trace '<trc_name>' to a trace file. Corresponds to Export Complex Data and Export
Formatted Data with disabled options "All Traces of Active Channel" or "Export All Channels". Exports a
single trace (except for multi-port Touchstone files, see below for details).
Traces are created using the CALCulate<Ch>:PARameter:SDEFine... command.
As *.s<n>p Touchstone files (<n> = 1, 2, 3, ...) are intended for a complete set of <n>-port S-
parameters, export to this file type is only possible if the active channel contains the full set of <n>
2
traces.
Export of multiport channels with balanced ports is also not supported for this file type. Use
MMEMory:STORe:TRACe:PORTs to create multiport Touchstone files for incomplete sets of <n>-port S-
parameters or with balanced ports.
Renormalization rules
Renormalization is NOT performed! The exported values are always based on the reference impedance of
the physical ports.
For one-port Touchstone files, the Reference resistance written to the file header depends on the current
renormalization mode MMEMory:SETTings:RENorm:MODE:
– if set to AUTO, the analyzer either uses the common reference impedance if unambiguous, or 1 Ohm
otherwise as described in the help of the "Export Complex Data ..." menu command.
– if set to EXPLicit, the analyzer uses the specified reference impedance
MMEMory:SETTings:RENorm:RIMPedance.
For multiport Touchstone files always a Reference resistance of 50 Ω is used.
Name of an existing data trace in the active setup (string parameter).
String parameter to specify the name and directory of the created trace file.
Several file formats for trace files are supported. The file extensions *.s<n>p,
*.csv, and *.dat for Touchstone, ASCII, and Matlab files are mandatory.
To generate a multiport Touchstone file *.s2p, *.s3p..., the channel must contain
