Error-corrected data
Formatted data
Generally, formatted data is the most useful of the five data levels,
because it is the same information the operator sees on the display.
However, if post-processing is unnecessary (e.g. possibly in cases
involving smoothing), error-corrected data may be more desirable.
Error-corrected data also affords the user the opportunity to input the
data to the network analyzer and apply post-processing at another time.

details which error coefficients are
used for specific calibration types, as
well as the arrays those coefficients
can be found in. Not all calibration
types use all 12 arrays. The data is
stored as real/imaginary pairs,
This is the raw data with
error-correction applied. The
array represents the currently
measured parameter, and is stored
in real/imaginary pairs. The
error-corrected data can be output to
a controller with the
command. The
command reads the trace memory,
if available. The trace memory also
contains error-corrected data. Note
neither raw nor error-corrected
that
data reflect such post-processing
functions as electrical-delay offset,

This is the array of data actually
being displayed. It reflects all
post-processing functions such as
electrical delay and time domain.
The units of the array output depend
on the current display format.
See 'lhble l-4 for the various units
defined as a function of display
format.
