2.5.3.5 Save
Save file in current directory, the file type is set in "Save Type".
An external U disk has the priority to be written in first.
1. STA(Status)
STA files can be used to save and recall the instrument configuration. They are saved in
binary format, which is designed to be used by the analyzer, not read by humans.
2. TRC(Trace)
TRC files store the active (visible) trace data and scaling factors that were in place when the
data was saved. They are saved in binary format, which is designed to be used by SSA3X
instruments, not read by humans.
NOTE: When you first recall trace files, the instrument will adjust the display parameters
(horizontal and vertical scaling, for example) to match the settings used during data collection.
The trace data will not change, even if you adjust the parameters.
3. COR(Correction)
COR files store the data used to mathematically adjust the displayed input signal based on
external factors (Cable loss, Amplifier/Antenna gain, etc.). They are saved in ASCII format,
which can be read by humans.
4. CSV(Comma-Separated Variable)
CSV files store instrument configuration (scaling, units, etc..) and raw data (amplitude and
frequency values) in ASCII format, commonly viewed in spreadsheet programs like Microsoft
®
Excel
®
. This file type can be read by humans.
5. LIM(limit)
LIM files store the line or point data used to configure and display lines used for visual
indication of a user-defined limit. This is a binary file intended for use with SSA3X instruments
and is not readable by humans.
6. BMP(Bitmap)/JPG(JPEG)/PNG
Picture files capture the display of the instrument (screenshot) as an image file. All of the
details of the display are captured exactly. What you see on the display is in the file. These are
readable using image programs.
2.5.3.6 Create Folder
