Save Hardcopy

The "Save …" button in the "Power Analysis" diagram opens a dialog to store a screenshot of the current measurement diagram. The current screen shot is stored as indicated, that means with or without marker indication. The different diagram views are toggled with the "Rearrange" key or the key combination <STR+A> on an external keyboard (see overview of features and operation in "NRP-Z Power Analysis".

Destination - Power Analysis

Indicates that the hardcopy is stored in a file.

Remote command: 
 
Format - Power Analysis

Selects the file format.

Several bitmap graphic formats are offered. In addition, format *.csv is available which stores the measurement values as ASCII data. The csv settings are performed in the "Options…" submenu.

Remote command: 
 
File name - Power Analysis

Indicates the file name.

The file name can be set either manually via the file manager (button "File…") or generated automatically. Automatic naming is activated and configured in the "Options…" subdialog

Remote command: 
 
Save Hardcopy - Power Analysis

Stores the current measurement diagram as hardcopy in a graphic file format or the trace data in a csv-file, depending on the selected file format.

Remote command: 
 
Save Options - Power Analysis

Opens a submenu to select the screenshot format and size and also to activate and select the automatic naming settings.

"Format"

Selects the hardcopy format. In addition to several bitmap formats, format "*.csv" is available which stores the measurement values as ASCII data.

Remote command: 

 

"Size"

Defines the size of the bitmap in terms of pixels. The first value of the size setting defines the width, the second value the height of the image.

Remote command: 

 

"Automatic Naming"

Selects that file names are created by rules if checked. The filename includes at least number and optionally additional information which is determined below.

Remote command: 

 

"Path"

Sets the directory for saving the files. The "Clear Path" button deletes all image files with extensions "bmp", "img", "png", "xpm" and "csv" in the directory set for automatic naming.

Remote command: 

 

"Prefix, Year, Month, Day"

"Prefix, Year, Month, Day" are included in the file name if checked and automatic naming is selected. The "Auto Number" used for file name creation and the resulting file name are indicated below.

Remote command: 

 

"Current Auto Number"

Automatic naming only

Indicates the number which is used in the automatically generated file name.

Remote command: 

 

"Resulting File Name"

Automatic naming only

Indicates the automatically generated file name.

CSV Options Hardcopy- Power Analysis

If file format *.csv is selected, the trace data is saved as an ASCII file with separated values. Additional settings are available in the hardcopy options submenu.

CSV files can be imported into the program MS Excel and then processed further. Adjust the value separator and the decimal point according to the language version, to import the data correctly.

"Orientation"

Defines the orientation of the X/Y value pairs:
  • Horizontal:
    X/Y values of trace 1 in rows 1 and 2,
    X/Y values of trace 2 in rows 3 and 4,
    X/Y values of trace 3 in rows 5 and 6,
    X/Y values of trace 4 in rows 7 and 8.
Example: 

Trace1,X[Hz]: 10000.0; 10010.0; 10020.0; 10030.0; ...

Trace1,Y[dBm]: -20.09; -19.17; -18.19; -15.43; ...

Trace2,X[Hz]: 10000.0; 10010.0; 10020.0; 10030.0; ...

Trace2,Y[dBm]: -19.09; -18.17; -17.19; -14.43; ...

Trace3,X[Hz]: 10000.0; 10010.0; 10020.0; 10030.0; ...

Trace3,Y[dBm]: -21.09; -20.17; -19.19; -16.43; ...

Trace4,X[Hz]: 10000.0; 10010.0; 10020.0; 10030.0; ...

Trace4,Y[dBm]: -22.07; -20.14; -21.56; -17.67; ...

  • Vertical:
    X/Y values of trace 1 in column 1 and 2,
    X/Y values of trace 2 in column 3 and 4,
    X/Y values of trace 3 in column 5 and 6,
    X/Y values of trace 4 in column 7 and 8.
Example: 

Trace1,X[Hz]; Trace1,Y[dBm]; Trace2,X[Hz]; Trace2,Y[dBm]; Trace3,X[Hz]; Trace3,Y[dBm]; Trace4,X[Hz]; Trace4,Y[dBm];

10000.0;-20.09;10000.0; -19.09;10000.0;21.09;10000.0;22.07;

10010.0;-19.17;10010.0;-18.17;10010.0; -20.17;10010.0; -20.14;

10020.0;-18.19;10020.0;-17.19;10020.0;-19.19;10020.0;-21.56;

10030.0; -15.43;10030.0; -14.43;10030.0;-16.43;10030.0;-17.67;...

Remote command: 

 

"Separator"
