Coupling between the imported memory trace and the active data trace implies that the stimulus values
o
f the imported data and of the active trace must be compatible. Compatibility means that the Sweep
Type of the two traces must match; the position and number of the sweep points do not have to be the
same.
The analyzer checks for compatibility before importing data. The Select Parameter box remains empty if
the selected files contains no compatible data.
When a *.s1p file is opened the Select Parameter box indicates the 1-port (reflection) parameter
S11, irrespective of the actual S-parameter stored in the file.
To import a trace file (*.snp or *.csv) you can also use the Windows Explorer and
simply double-click the file or drag and drop the file into the NWA application. The
imported data generates a memory trace which is coupled to the active data trace.
Remote control:

Export Complex Data...
Calls up a dialog to store data or memory traces to a trace file. Trace files are ASCII files with selectable
file format. Data export can serve many purposes, e.g.:
• To process and evaluate measurement data in an external application.
• To store measurement data and re-import it in a future measurement session.
Export Complex Data corresponds to a standard Save As... dialog with an additional panel to specify
the export Options. The export options are remembered when the dialog is closed. The Dec. Separator
export option is not available for Mathlab (*.dat) file export. Touchstone files *.s<n>p contain either a
