Data (Import)

Importing a data file loads data that was previously saved from the current measurement or from other
measurements and/or modes that produce the same type of data. The Import Menu only contains Data
Types that are supported by the current measurement.
Since the commonly exported data files are in .csv format, the data can be edited by the user prior to
importing. This allows you to export a data file, manipulate the data in Excel (the most common PC
Application for manipulating .csv files) and then import it.
Importing Data loads measurement data from the specified file into the specified or default destination,
depending on the data type selected. Selecting an Import Data menu key will not actually cause the
importing to occur, since the analyzer still needs to know from where to get the data. Pressing the Open
key in this menu brings up the Open dialog and Open menu that provides you with the options from
where to recall the data. Once a filename has been selected or entered in the Open menu, the recall
occurs as soon as the Open key is pressed.
Key Path
:MMEMory:LOAD:TRACe
TRACE1|TRACE2|TRACE3|TRACE4|TRACE5|TRACE6,<filename>
:MMEMory:LOAD:TRACe:REGister
TRACE1|TRACE2|TRACE3|TRACE4|TRACE5|TRACE6,<integer>
:MMEM:LOAD:TRAC TRACE2,"myState.trace" recalls the file
myState.trace on the default path; if it is a "single trace" save file, that trace is
loaded to trace 2, and is set to be not updating.
:MMEM:LOAD:TRAC:REG TRACE1,2 restores the trace data in register 2
to Trace 1
Auto return to the Trace menu and the Open dialog goes away.
Advisory Event "Recalled File <file name>" after recall is complete.
Some modes and measurements do not have available all 6 traces. Phase
Noise mode command, for example, is: MMEMory:LOAD:TRACe
TRACE1|TRACE2|TRACE3,<filename>
The load trace command actually performs a load state, which in the Swept
SA measurement includes the trace data. However it looks in the recalled state
file to see how it was flagged at save time. The possibilities are:
If the trace file was saved using one of the TRACE# enums, it is flagged as a
single trace save file. The trace that was flagged as the one that was saved, is
loaded to the trace specified. The trace is loaded with update off and display
on, and none of the other traces are loaded.
If the trace file was saved using one the ALL enum, it is flagged as an "all
traces" file. And all traces will be loaded. All of the traces are loaded with
Update=Off to keep them from updating, regardless of the setting of "Recall
State w/Trace Update".
