/P:<flag> If <flag> is non-zero, print SDF record titles (default on).
/E:<flag> If <flag> is non-zero, expand enums to labels (default on).
/W:<flag> If <flag> is non-zero, scale the data for the window and engineering units. (default
on).
Example
To find out what results are available in an SDF measurement results file from HP 3566A/67A (swept
sine measurement):
SDFTO63 /I SINEARB.DAT
This will produce a list on the display such as the following.
Data Name Rows Cols Scans Points Complex Space
0 Freq Response 103 Arb
1 Nrml Variance 2 103 Arb
2 Input Power Ch1 103 Arb
3 Output Power Ch2 103 Arb
4 Cross Power 103 Arb
This example shows 5 data results (0 thru 4) are available with 103 arbitrarily spaced points (indicative of
swept sine data, see figure 2-1).
The ‘’Rows’’ field (if present) is usually associated with the number of channels of data available for
single channel results (see figure 2-2). For example, 2 channels of ‘’Normalized Variance’’ measurement
results are present.
At this time, the ‘’Columns’’ field is not used (there is always only 1 column of data) by any instrument
using SDF as a data format.
The ‘’Scans’’ field indicates that the data contains Waterfall results from HP 3566A/67
(see figure 2-3).
