Available measurement file formats depend on the instrument model, installed options, and current measurement mode. Some of the commonly used file types include:
*.jpg JPEG images
*.mna VNA Measurements
*.stp Setups
*.s2p S2P (SnP)
*.spa Spectrum Analyzer Measurements
*.csv Text file with Comma Separated Values (CSV)
*.txt Text file with tab separated values
*.lim Limit lines
Saving VNA files in .mna format is recommended because it enables you to edit, view, and analyze traces with Line Sweep Tools. For more information, refer to the Line Sweep Tools Help file for the instrument and measurement files supported.
