13.3.3 Reference: Transducer Factor File Format
Transducer factor data can be exported to a file in ASCII (CSV) format for further eval-
uation in other applications. Transducer factors stored in the specified ASCII (CSV) for-
mat can also be imported to the R&S ESW for other measurements.
For more information about transducer factors, see "Design and management of trans-
ducer factors" on page 320.
This reference describes in detail the format of the export/import files for transducer
factors. Note that the bold data is mandatory, all other data is optional.
Different language versions of evaluation programs may require a different handling of
the decimal point. Thus, you can define the decimal separator to be used (see "Deci-
mal Separator" on page 212).

13.3.4 How to Configure the Transducer
Configuring the transducer is very similar to configuring transducer factors.
