You can set the carrier information (additional information) on/off when you want to save the trace data. Follow the steps below to set the carrier information to On/Off.
This function is available in Phase Noise, AM Noise and Segment PN.
This function cannot be used when you want to save the trace memory. In addition, even if you recall the file with carrier information into the trace memory, the carrier information is not set on the E5052B.
When the security level is set at Frequency Blank, the carrier frequency value is saved as "***" into the file.
Follow the steps below to save the trace data of the E5052B.
Press Trace Next or Trace Max to activate the trace on which you want to save the trace data.
Press Save/Recall.

E5052B with rev. A.03.10 can recall the trace data with additional information. In that case, the additional information is not set.
E5052B can recall the file which has only the data of carrier information (both or either frequency and/or power). The additional information can be set.
When the trace data is copied to the User Measurement with Copy to User function, the additional information is also copied.
You can save the trace data of the E5052B’s active trace in the CSV format (with the extension of “*.csv”) to recall them for later use on the PC application software.
Example of Saved Trace Data (phase noise measurement)
Carrier Frequency (Hz),+1.00000000000e+008
Carrier Power (dBm),+0.00000000000e+000
Offset Frequency (Hz),Phase Noise (dBc/Hz)
+1.00000000000e+002,-6.11082572643e+001
+1.01800975118e+002,-6.14881381403e+001
+1.03634385350e+002,-5.77826152313e+001
+1.05500814844e+002,-5.81658293608e+001
The first line is a title and a data of carrier frequency.
The second line is a title and a data of carrier power.
The third line is a header indicating the trace data items that are output from the fourth line onward.
From the fourth line, the trace data are output at an amount equivalent to the number of frequency points.

Follow the steps below to save the trace data of the E5052B.
Press Trace Next or Trace Max to activate the trace on which you want to save the trace data.
Press Save/Recall to open the Save/Recall menu.
Press Save Data Trace to open the “Save As” dialog box. This operation should be conducted using the external keyboard and/or mouse. For information on the Save As dialog box, refer to the description of Save As dialog box. Here, the CSV Files (with the extension of *.csv) are selected for the file type.
Specify the destination folder for saving, enter file name, and then press Save to save the file.
For TR measurements, additional option to save scroll data is available at Save/Recall > Save Scroll Data...
You can save the trace memory of the E5052B’s active trace in the CSV format (with the extension of “.csv”) to recall them for later use on the PC application software.
The trace memory is saved in the following format:
