Data created the first time in this manner will be saved as filename "FILE00.r1". The file
extension .r1 indicates the data was created while channel 1 was active and stored in the
analyzer's raw data array. If you save the data again, but while channel 2 is active, you will
get a new file called "FILE01.r2". RAW data are not commonly used unless sophisticated
data processing is to be performed in an external PC. As an example, multi-port calibration
is created by exporting raw data to a PC where error-correction for each of the multi-port
paths is applied to them.

Data created the first time in this manner will be saved as filename "DATA00.d1." The file
extension .d1 indicates that the data from the analyzer's channel 1 is error corrected data
only if the analyzer's error correction feature is enabled (in other words, you have
performed a calibration). Otherwise, the data is the same as data stored in the analyzer's
raw data arrays. Data stored in the data arrays does not have any formatting applied to it.

Data created the first time in this manner will be saved as filename "FILE00.f1". The file
extension .f1 indicates the data is formatted per
1. Depending on what features you've selected, data in the format arrays includes data in
the data arrays plus one or more of the following features:
• Trace math (i.e data-memory)
• Gating (Option 010)
• Electrical delay
• Conversion (for complex impedance (Z), admittance (Y), etc.)
• Transform (Option 010)
• Format (log, lin, phase, delay, SWR, excluding Smith and Polar)
• Smoothing
In each of these examples, most users will select
