The analyzer has a feature which saves the measurement
trace in a format compatible with many popular spreadsheet programs
such as Lotus® 1-2-3® and Microsoft Excel®. The measurement can also
be saved in Touchstone (S2P) format for importing data into CAE
programs. The measurement is saved to a file on the analyzer's disk.
The following program segment shows how to save the measurement in
Lotus 1-2-3 format to a file on the analyzer's non-volatile RAM disk, and
then how to transfer that file into your program and store it as a file on
your computer disk.
10 DIM A$[32000]
20 Dest$="SAV_DUT1.PRN"
30 OUTPUT 716;"MMEM:STOR:TRAC:FORMAT LOTUS123"
40 OUTPUT 716;"MMEM:STOR:TRAC CH1FDATA, 'MEM:DUT1.PRN'"
50 OUTPUT 716;"MMEM:TRAN? 'MEM:DUT1.PRN'"
60 ENTER 716 USING "W,-K";Word1,A$
70 CREATE Dest$,32000
80 ASSIGN @File TO Dest$
90 OUTPUT @File;A$
100 ASSIGN @File TO *
With the Save ASCII feature, you can read the measurements into
your CAE or spreadsheet program, and perform statistical analysis on
the data, such as mean and standard deviation on groups of DUTs.
For information on transferring disk files between the analyzer and your
computer, refer to the Example Programs Guide.
