The stimulus frequencies are arranged in ascending order. If a lin. Mag-Phase (MA) or dB Mag-Phase
(DB) data format is selected the real and imaginary S-parameter values Re(S
ij
), Im(S
ij
) are replaced by
lin Mag(S
ij
), phase(S
ij
) or dB Mag(S
ij
), phase(S
ij
), respectively.
ASCII (*.csv) files
An ASCII file contains a header and the actual trace data:
freq;reTrc1_S21;imTrc1_S21;reMem2[Trc1]_S21;imMem2[Trc1]_S21;
300000.000000;0.000000;0.000000;0.000000;0.000000;

120898492.462312;0.497959;-0.111724;0.488029;-0.107375;
...
The header consists of the following data elements:
<Stimulus> stimulus variable: freq for Frequency sweep, power for Power sweep, time for Time
sweep, trigger for CW Mode sweep.
<reTrace1> first response value of first trace: re<Trace_Name>, mag<Trace_Name> or
db<Trace_Name> for output format Re/Im, lin. Mag-Phase or dB Mag-Phase, respectively. The data
format for export files can be selected in the Export Data dialog.
<imTrace1>
<reTrace2>
<imTrace2>... second response value of second trace. first response value of second trace.
HZ / KHZ / MHZ / GHZ allowed for imported files. The analyzer alway uses HZ for exported
data. second response value of first trace: im<Trace_Name> for output format Re/Im,
ang<Trace_Name> for output formats lin. Mag-Phase or dB Mag-Phase. The data format for export
files can be selected in the Export Data dialog.
The trace data is arranged as described in the header. Different values are separated by semicolons. A
semicolon is also inserted before the end of each line.
The stimulus values are arranged in ascending order.
