8.2.6 Other File Types
When Option U01 is fitted (see section 6) four other file types can exist. These are
Compensation Table files, Limit Pattern files, Channel Marker files, and Logging files. Details of
the functions are provided within section 6 of the manual.
8.2.6.1 Compensation Tables
Compensation tables are normalised files of amplitude versus frequency which must be created
outside of the instrument using PSA-Manager software. They are a few kilobytes in size.
They files have the extension .CMP and are located in the folder named TABLES. Files can be
transferred using either a USB Flash drive, or by direct connection to the USB port of a PC.
8.2.6.2 Limit Pattern and Channel Marker Files
Limit pattern tables are normalised files of amplitude versus frequency which must be created
outside of the instrument using PSA-Manager software. They are a few kilobytes in size.
They have the extension .CSV and are located in the folder named TABLES. Files can be
transferred using either a USB Flash drive, or by direct connection to the USB port of a PC.
A channel marker file is a special version of a limit pattern file designed to create only vertical
lines. Channel marker file names start with a $ symbol.
8.2.6.3 Logging Files
Logging Files record multiple entries of sweep data in response to a variety of trigger signals.
They can contain several types of data and are variable in size up to tens of megabytes. They
have the extension .LOG and are located in the folder named LOGS.
Amplitude values contained within a logging file are always in dBm.
The files are created within the instrument and must be transferred to a PC for analysis using
PSA-Manager software. Files can be transferred using either a USB Flash drive, or by direct
connection to the USB port of a PC.
