●
The Data is tag-specific, and usually it is in ASCII plain text.
●
The Length specifies the number of bytes in a WAVEFORM tag, DATA LIST tag, or
EMPTYTAG
Length is an ASCII integer value, defining the number of bytes from the colon : to
the end brace }
Rules
Each waveform file must begin with the TYPE tag. The sequence of the remaining tags
is arbitrary. For each tag, an indication shows whether it must be included in the file
concerned (mandatory) or may be included (optional).
Unknown tags are not analyzed by the R&S SMW; they are left unchanged and saved
without an error message for a possible further read back.
R&S SMU waveforms can also be loaded on the instrument, where they are converted
internally into an R&S SMW waveform.
In all examples of file contents listed in this section, the tags have been separated by
line breaks for better reading.
Tag description
This section describes the mandatory TYPE tag followed by description of all other
tags, grouped per file type and listed in an alphabetical order. Some tags are valid for
all three file types. If a tag is valid only for a single file type, e.g. only for a waveform,
this fact is indicated in the description.
