Creating .agconfig Files from Measurement Files

Automatic History Saves

42
You might require the .agconfig file for a particular measurement that you
have performed in the past. In case you did not explicitly save the
.agconfig file, you can extract it from a measurement (.omr) file by using
ExtractAgconfigFromOmr, a PowerShell utility, available in the Examples
folder (C:\Program Files\Keysight\Photonic Application Suite\Examples\
DemoPowerShell). This utility takes an OMR file as an input and creates an
agconfig file that reflects the settings with which the specified
measurement had been performed. The extracted .agconfig file has the
same name as the specified OMR file and is created in the same directory
as the OMR file. For easy access and execution of this PowerShell utility,
use the batch file ExtractAgconfigFromOmr.bat specifying the OMR file as
a parameter (either specify the full path of the OMR file or place it in the
current working directory).
This utility can also be used for troubleshooting purposes.
By default the measurement engine will automatically save a number of
recent measurements to a specific folder. This is a very helpful feature,
since one often performs a number of measurements that are not intended
for saving, then realizes, after a certain, subsequent measurement, that
comparison with one of the previous measurements would indeed reveal
certain insights.
Selecting Explore History Files from the File menu will open this engine's
history file save folder. The files are named using the engine acronym
followed by a timestamp. Use drag and drop to add any file(s) to the
engine's browser tree or double-click any file(s) for display in the File
Viewer application.
Especially when working with large amounts of measurement data (many
ports, broad range, high resolution), you may want to reduce the number
of automatically stored files or even turn off the automatic saving of history
files. On the other hand you may want to increase the number for
obtaining many measurement files without having to perform manual
saves, or having to use measurement automation.
