SDFTO63
Converts a single measurement result from an SDF data file <sfile> to an HP 3563A (or HP 3562A) data
file <dfile>. HP 3563A/62A data files on a LIF system start with the letters ‘’DA.’’
Syntax SDFTO63 <sfile> <dfile> [/U] [/O] [/I] [/D:<data>] [/S:<scan>] [/R:<row>] [/C:<col>]
Options
<sfile> Input SDF file name.
<dfile> Output file name for HP 3563A/62A data file. The file name must begin with DA,
for example DATRACE1, if you plan to use LIF CP on the file.
/U Show help (usage information) for this program.
/O Overwrite <dfile> if it exists.
/I Show information only on <sfile>, including data result number, result name, the
number of rows, columns, scans available, the number of data points, whether the
data is real or complex, and type of X spacing between data points.
/D:<data> Select data result for the specified SDF_DATA_HDR. If not specified, then the
first result (result 0) in <sfile> will be selected. Use /I to see a list of the result
names and numbers.
/S:<scan> Select data for the specified scan (map line or waterfall step, see figure 2-3). If not
specified, then the first scan (scan 0) in <sfile> will be selected.
/R:<row> Select data for the specified row (see figure 2-2). If not specified, then the first row
(row 0) in <sfile> will be selected.
/C:<col> Select data for the specified column. If not specified, then the first column (column
0) in <sfile> will be selected. 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.
