Element Description
UserData Optional: contains user, application or device-specific XML data which is not part of
the iq-tar specification. This element can be used to store additional information, e.g.
the hardware configuration. User data must be valid XML content.
PreviewData Optional: contains further XML elements that provide a preview of the I/Q data. The
preview data is determined by the routine that saves an iq-tar file (e.g. R&S ESW).
For the definition of this element refer to the RsIqTar.xsd schema. Note that the
preview can be only displayed by current web browsers that have JavaScript enabled
and if the XSLT stylesheet open_IqTar_xml_file_in_web_browser.xslt is
available.
Example: ScalingFactor
Data stored as int16 and a desired full scale voltage of 1 V
ScalingFactor = 1 V / maximum int16 value = 1 V / 2

= 3.0517578125e-5 V
