is useful when exchanging data between different computers and instruments. CITIhles are
always saved when the ASCII format has been selected as shown below:

each displayed channel with the sufhx letter "D", or "F", followed by a number. The number
following "D" and "F" llles is the channel number. When ~~~~~:~~:~~~~~~ is selected, an 91"
more information on the CITIFiIe data format as well as a list of CITIFile keywords, refer to
Appendix A, "The CITIFile Data Format and Keyword Reference."
This format creates component data files that describe frequency dependent linear network
parameters for 2 port components These hles are assigned a hlename with the sulhx "S" and
are only outputted (that is, they cannot be read in by the analyzers).
Up to two S2P files are saved: Sl for channel 1, and S2 for channel 2. S2P files are not stored
for channel 3 or channel 4 because the data would be redundant. Each S2P file contains alI
four S-parameter data.
An S2P hle is only outputted when the ail of following conditions are met:
