The default extension for settings files is *.zvl.dfl. MMEMory:STORe:STATe
automatically appends the default extension, if a file name without extension (or
with a different extension) is specified. It is allowed though to re-name settings
files using other extensions. If no path is specified the analyzer uses the current
directory, to be queried with MMEMory:CDIRectory?.

MMEMory:STORe:STATe:NEXT
Stores the configuration data of the current data set to a data set file using the file name used in the last
saving process. This file name is automatically counted up to the next unused name.

MMEMory:STORe:TRACe '<trc_name>','<file_name>'[,UNFormatted | FORMatted,
COMPlex | LINPhase | LOGPhase, POINt | COMMa, SEMicolon | COMMa |
TABulator | SPACe]
Stores the trace data of a specified trace to a trace file. Traces are created using the
CALCulte<Ch>:PARameter:SDEFine... command.
*.s<n>p Touchstone files (<n> = 1, 2, 3, ...) are intended for a complete set of <n>-port S-parameters.
Data export fails if the active channel does not contain the full set of <n>
2
traces. If the necessary trace
are available, '<trc_name>' can be the name of any of the traces.
'<trc_name>'
Name of an existing data trace in the active setup (string parameter).
'<file_name>'
String parameter to specify the name and directory of the created trace file.
Several file formats for trace files are supported. The file extensions *.s<n>p,
*.csv, and *.dat for Touchstone, ASCII, and Matlab files are mandatory.
To generate a multiport Touchstone file *.s2p, *.s3p..., the channel must contain
traces for the full set of S-parameters; the '<trc_name>' is ignored.
If no path is specified the analyzer uses the current directory, to be queried with
MMEMory:CDIRectory?.
Optional
parameters
UNFormatted – Unformatted data export specified by the second optional
parameter
FORMatted – Formatted data export (for *.csv and *.dat files only)
If the first optional parameter is omitted the command stores unformatted data.
COMPlex – Complex values (real and imaginary part)
LINPhase – Linear magnitude and phase
LOGPhase – dB-magnitude and phase
If the second optional parameter is omitted the command stores complex data.

OUTPut<Pt>...
This subsystem controls the characteristics of the analyzer’s output ports.
OUTPut<Chn>:DPORt PORT1 | PORT2
Selects a source port for the stimulus signal (drive port). The setting acts on the active trace. The effect of
the drive port selection depends on the measurement parameter associated with the active trace:
•
If an S-parameter S
<out><in>
is measured, the second port number index <in> (input port of the DUT
=drive port of the analyzer) is set equal to the selected drive port: Drive port selection affects the
measured quantity.
•
If a wave quantity or a ratio is measured, the drive port is independent from the measured
quantity:
Note: This command is equivalent to [SENSe<Chn>:]SWEep:SRCPort.
<Chn>
Channel number used to identify the active trace. If unspecified the numeric
suffix is set to 1.
PORT1 ...
Test port number of the analyzer, 1 to 2.
*RST value
PORT1
SCPI, Command
Types
Device-specific, with query.
Example:
CALC4:PAR:SDEF 'Ch4Tr1', 'A1'
Create channel 4 and a trace named Ch4Tr1 to measure the wave quantity a1.
The trace automatically becomes the active trace.
OUTP4:DPOR PORT2
Select drive port 2 for the active trace.
OUTPut<Ch>[:STATe] <Boolean>
Turns the internal source power at all ports and the power of all external generators on or off.
<Ch>
Channel number. This suffix is ignored; the setting is valid for all channels.
<Boolean>
ON | OFF - Switches the power on or off.

PROGram...
This subsystem controls external application programs that can be run on the analyzer.
PROGram[:SELected]:EXECute '<file_name>[ <command>]'
Starts an application program or open a file using an application available on the analyzer.
'<file_name>'
Name and path of an application program to be executed or of a file to be opened.
The path can be defined as an absolute path (e.g. 'c:\...') or relative to the current
directory (MMEMory:CDIRectory). Blanks in the file name are not allowed because
everything after a blank is interpreted as a <command>.
<command>
Command name in the selected application <file_name> (optional).
*RST value

SCPI,
Command
Types
Confirmed, no query.
Example:
PROG:SEL:NAME PROG
Selects general program execution on the analyzer.
MMEM:CDIR 'C:\Program Files\Rohde&Schwarz\Network Analyzer\Bin'
Go to the program directory.
PROG:EXEC 'iecwin32.exe'
Start the application iecwin32.
PROG:EXEC:WAIT
Lock command execution and manual control of the analyzer until iecwin32 is
paused or stopped.
PROGram[:SELected]:NAME PROG
Selects the application to be run on the analyzer. At present, only the general parameter PROG is
available: PROGram[:SELected]:EXECute can start any program.
Use this command in order to avoid problems should the default value change in future firmware
versions.
PROG
Any program running under Windows XP or any file that can be opened with an
application program available on the analyzer.

[SENSe...]
[SENSe<Ch>:]AVERage...
This subsystem sets sweep averaging parameters. The sweep average is a noise-reduction technique
which consists of calculating each measurement point as an average of the same measurement point over
several consecutive sweeps.
[SENSe<Ch>:]AVERage:CLEar
Starts a new average cycle, clearing all previous results and thus eliminating their effect on the new cycle.
<Ch>
Channel number. If unspecified the numeric suffix is set to 1.

Example:
AVER:COUN 15; AVER ON
