NOTE
Data that has been saved in ASCII format cannot be recalled and used by the E4991A. To
recall data to the E4991A, save it in binary format. For details, see the section "Saving and
Recalling Measurement Data in Binary Format" on page 172.

To save measurement data in ASCII format:

Step 1. Perform the measurement for which you want to save data.
