SDFTO63 Convert a single measurement result from an SDF data file to an HP 3563A (or
HP 3562A) data file.
SDFTOASC Convert an SDF data file to an ASCII data file.
SDFTOBIN Convert an SDF data file to a raw binary data file.
SDFTOML Convert data from the SDF format to the format used in PC-MATLAB.
SDFTOMX Convert data from the SDF format to the format used in MATRIXx.
SDFTOSDF Extract a subset of results from an SDF file and create another SDF file. This is not
necessary for all analyzers. Because of differences in the way analyzers store data,
you may need to run this program (see chapter 2). Sharing data between analyzers
may require you to convert the number of lines of resolution to a different number
of lines. You may also need to change the arbitrary spacing (from a swept sine
measurement) to log or linear spacing (for curve fit or math operations).
SDFYDATA Edit/print any section of Y data of an SDF file.
SETUP63 Convert a binary setup state file from the HP 3563A (or HP 3562A) to an ASCII
form.
SETUP88 Convert a binary setup state file from the HP 3588A to an ASCII form.
SETUP89 Convert a binary setup state file from the HP 3589A to an ASCII form.
SOFTCOPY Transfers data from the HP-IB (IEEE-488) to a file.
SYNTH63 Convert a binary synthesis file from the HP 3563A (or HP 3562A) to an ASCII
file, a PC-MATLAB MAT-file, or a MATRIXx file.
VIEWDATA Displays data graphically on your personal computer. See the chapter in this book
titled ‘’Viewdata’’ for more information.
X32TOBIN Convert an Intel Hex-32 data file to a binary data file. (Intel Hex-32 is the internal
data format for the HP 3560A.)
Note These utilities work only on MS-DOS files. Prior to using them, copy your
HP 3563A/3562A files from LIF to DOS using the LIF utilities (LIF CP) described in
the first part of this documentation.
