The S2P data will always represent the format array data, including effects of electrical delay and port
extensions. A CITIfile will be saved at the same time. To be consistent with previous versions, the CITIfile
data saved will represent the DATA array (corrected data) without effects of electrical delay or port
extensions.
CAUTION
Using the smoothing feature or saving data displayed in time domain format may result in
invalid S2P data. Avoid using these functions when saving S2P files.
Here is an S2P example file for an 11 point measurement of a 20 dB attenuator:
