Saving and Recalling SiteHawk Status Data
SiteHawk status, calibration result, and tracing data can be saved to the
instrument, and can be recalled to be displayed on the sweep display area.
The parameters for this instrument setting include: scale, trace, cursor and
analysis. These parameters are saved in the status files.
CAUTION
Do not connect the unit to a PC USB port.
File transfer must be done using a USB Drive.
Trace Data in CSV File Format
SiteHawk can track data of a single trace and then save the data as a comma
separated values (CSV) file. The CSV file contains a list of data separated by
commas. The current format and response trajectory under the incentive value
is stored in the CSV file.
Trace data is saved in the following format to the *.CSV file:
F[n] = Frequency about point N.
Data1 = Trace response value, Real part
Data2 = 0,Imaginary part
Trace Data S1p File
SiteHawk can save the parameters to the S1p file. The S1p file contains the
frequency value and S-parameter. S1p files are used to store a single port
parameter. Only one path of data is saved to the file.
s1p files are used for importing into the SiteHawk PC Tool software. Once
imported, Markers and limit lines can be added, the scaling can be modified,
and reports can be generated.
The file contains a comments, title and track data lines. Comments are indicated
using an exclamation "!" mark. Title of the start of the data is indicated using a
pound "#" sign with the data following.
