11 File and Data Management
The R&S SMW uses files to save all instrument data. The instrument allows you to
store and to load instrument settings, and to import and to export user data for pro-
cessing in another instrument or later. Finally, you can create a screenshot of the cur-
rent settings displayed on the screen and save it as a file.
The main save and recall function for managing of the instrument settings is available
via the SAVE/RCL key. Dedicated save/recall functions are available in the settings
dialogs of the digital standards or accessible whenever user files are used.
This section focuses on the functions provided for managing of user data files and cov-
ers the topics listed below.
For information on the related remote control commands, refer to Chapter 14.7, "MME-
Mory Subsystem", on page 851.
For information on how to save the displayed setting in a file, refer to Chapter 11.10,
"Creating Screenshots of Current Settings", on page 702.
