Note on use

When the fixture simulator is ON and the port impedance conversion is ON, Z0 of all ports

to be saved must be set to the same value.

Operating Procedure

1. Starting VBA macro

Step 1. Press

[Macro Setup].

Step 2. Press

Load Project.

Step 3. The Open dialog box appears. Specify the file name “D:\Agilent\SaveToTouchstone.vba”

2. Saving data

Step 1. Select the number of ports (1 in Figure A-10) and test ports (2 in Figure A-10).

NOTE You can selects 1 port or 2 ports as the number of ports when the maximum number of

channels/traces is 16 channels/4 traces or 12 channels/6 traces.

Step 2. Select a channel (3 in Figure A-10).

NOTE The channel selected in this step has no relation to the active channel.

Step 3. Select the data saving format (4 in Figure A-10).

Step 4. Press the

Save button (5 in Figure A-10). Measurement of necessary data for the selected

channel in Step 2 starts.

NOTE Regardless of the state of the trigger system, measurement is automatically performed

real - imaginary (RI) real and imaginary parts

magnitude - angle (MA) linear magnitude and phase (degree)

dB - angle (DB) logarithmic magnitude (dB) and phase (degree)
