Other topics about Saving and Recalling
When running a command for saving, recalling, and managing files, use a filename with extension to specify a particular file. Specify "D:" in the beginning of the file name, when specifying a file on the user area of hard disk. Also, when specifying a file name with directory, use "/" (slash) or "\" (backslash) as a delimiter.
You can save the instrument state using one of the following 2 methods:
Saving the entire instrument state into a file
Saving the state for each channel into registers A to D (volatile memory)
When saving the instrument status into a file or register, the content to be saved can be selected among the following 4 options:
Instrument status only
Instrument status and calibration coefficient array.
Instrument status, corrected data/memory array (measurement data)
Instrument status, calibration coefficient array, and corrected data/memory array (measurement data)
To select a content to be saved, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:STYP
To select whether to save the setting of all channels/traces or that of the displayed channels/traces, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:SALL
To save the entire instrument status into a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR
Recalling a file saved with the above command can reproduce the status when it was saved. To recall the settings from a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:LOAD
The file saved with the name autorec.sta or A:autorec.sta will be automatically recalled when the E5071C is powered ON.
For the active channel, when you want to save the instrument state specific to that channel into only one of the registers A to D, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:CHAN
Recalling an instrument state saved in a register can reproduce it as the state of the active channel. To recall a register, use the following command:
:MMEM:LOAD:CHAN
It is possible to recall a file from a different channel where it was saved.
The contents in the registers are lost when you turn OFF the power. You can delete (clear) the contents of all registers using the following command.
:MMEM:STOR:CHAN:CLE
Measurement data (in a formatted data array) can be saved to a file in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format.
To save measurement data in a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:FDAT
Executing the above command will save the measurement data of the active trace. Note that the data saved using the above command cannot be recalled from the E5071C.
Measurement data for the active channel can be saved to a file in touchstone format.
To determine a file type in touchstone file format and specify a port, use one of the following commands according to the number of ports used:
:MMEM:STOR:SNP:TYPE:S1P
:MMEM:STOR:SNP:TYPE:S2P
:MMEM:STOR:SNP:TYPE:S3P
:MMEM:STOR:SNP:TYPE:S4P
To set a data type for files saved in touchstone format, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:SNP:FORM
To save measurement data in touchstone format, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:SNP
Only trace data of frequency sweep can be saved in touchstone format files.Trace data of frequency offset measurement and power sweep measurement cannot be saved.
Images displayed on the LCD screen can be saved to a file in the bitmap (.bmp) or portable network graphics (.png) format.
To save the screen image to a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:IMAG
Executing the above command will save the screen image when the command is invoked.
This gives different screen image results from those obtained by pressing the [Capture] key on the front panel.
Segment sweep table can be saved in the file with CSV (Comma Separated Value) format.
To save segment sweep table on a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:SEGM
Executing the above command will save the segment sweep table for the active channel.
Recalling the file saved using the above command can reproduce the segment sweep table on the active channel.
To recall the settings from a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:LOAD:SEGM
It is possible to recall a file from a different channel where it was saved. Note that recalling operation is not guaranteed for the file that might have been modified with editor.
Limit table can be saved in the file with CSV (Comma Separated Value) format. To save limit table on a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:LIM
Executing the above command will save the limit table for the active trace of the active channel.
Recalling the file saved using the above command can reproduce the limit table on the active trace of the active channel. To recall the settings from a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:LOAD:LIM
It is possible to recall a file from a different channel or trace where it was saved. Note that recalling operation is not guaranteed for the file that might have been modified with editor.
The power sensor calibration table can be saved in the file with CSV (Comma Separated Value) format. To save the power sensor calibration factor table that is set specifically to the E5071C into a file, use the following commands:
:MMEM:STOR:ASCF
:MMEM:STOR:BSCF
Recalling a file saved with the above command can reproduce the power sensor calibration factor table when it was saved. To recall the settings from a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:LOAD:ASCF
:MMEM:LOAD:BSCF
Recalling operation is not guaranteed for the file that might have been modified with editor.
The loss compensation table can be saved in the file with CSV (Comma Separated Value) format.To save the loss compensation table that is set for each port into a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:STOR:PLOS{1-4}
Executing the above command will save the loss compensation table for the active channel.
Recalling the file saved using the above command can reproduce the loss compensation table on the active channel. To recall the settings from a file, use the following command:
:MMEM:LOAD:PLOS{1-4}
It is possible to recall a file from a different channel or port where it was saved. Note that recalling operation is not guaranteed for the file that might have been modified with editor.
Only the VBA project file can be saved using command.
To save the VBA project that is opened on the VBA editor on the file, use the following command.
:MMEM:STOR:PROG
To load the VBA project to the VBA editor, or to import the module/form file, use the following command.
:MMEM:LOAD:PROG
Executing above command will load/import the file according to its extension as follows:
|
Extension |
File type |
|
vba |
VBA Project |
|
bas |
Standard module |
|
frm |
User Forms |
