ZNA, ZNB, ZND, ZNL – Export of time domain trace

Description

When I export the time domain trace the stimulus values are in Hz, but not in seconds as shown on the screen. How can I get the export in time or distance?

Resolution

Only in ASCII or Matlab it is possible to export the stimulus in time or distance.
For that set the checkmark for “Formatted Values”. Then the export file is identical to that what you see on the screen:

Some examples:

If “Formatted Values” is not active, this is the result:
freq[Hz];re:Trc1_S11;im:Trc1_S11;
5.000000000000000E+03;9.934904484779462E-01;1.114432092780404E-02;

With Formatted Values active:
time[s];Trc1_S11[dB];
-1.000000000000000E-09;-5.106332417455106E+01;

time[s];Trc1_Z<-S11Ohm];
-1.000000000000000E-09;4.998645120514252E+01;

distance[m];Trc1_Z<-S11Ohm];
-1.498000000000000E-01;4.998803608276278E+01;
