5GNR Analyzer Measurement Guide : 5GNR Analyzer (Option 888) : Saving and Recalling Measurements
 
Saving and Recalling Measurements
The instrument can save measurement setups, native trace and CSV trace data, limit line setups, and screenshots. You can recall setup, native trace, and limit line files. For other file operations such as copy, move, and directory management, refer to “File Management” section in Instrument Overview chapter of your product’s user guide.
Saving a Measurement
To save a measurement or setup, refer to Figure: File Save Dialog:
1. Press FILE > SAVE AS...
2. If desired, press the save location to change the destination.

Once a file has been saved, the QUICK SAVE feature can be used to quickly save the same type of file with an incrementing number appended to the end of the original file name.
Recalling a Measurement
You can recall a saved setup, native trace measurement, and a limit line. When recalling a setup, the instrument setup and operating state will be restored as it was when the setup was saved. When recalling a trace measurement, the instrument setup and on-screen measurement data will be restored as it was when the trace data was saved.
To recall a measurement or setup, refer to Figure: File Open Dialog:
1. Press FILE > RECALL...
2. Select the file location.
3. Use the file type filter to shorten the list if needed.

QUICK SAVE
saves a setup file immediately with the name shown in the button. The number in the name is incremented automatically so that the new name is ready for the next setup file to be saved.
SAVE AS
Opens the Save dialog to manually enter a file location, enter a file name, and to set the file type to be saved. Depending on the selected measurement, you can save the following:
• Setup: Saves the current instrument setup (stp file type).
• Trace: Saves the measurement point (trace) data and the current instrument setup (fm5gnr and fmspa file types).
• Trace CSV: Saves the visible trace point data in comma separated value format (csv file type). This format is useful for further analysis using other software tools.
• Screenshot: Saves a screenshot of the current measurement (png file type).
• Trace + Screenshot: Saves both the current measurement and screenshot files (both fm5gnr and png file types).
• CSV: Saves the point data in comma separated value format (csv file type). This format is useful for further analysis using other software tools.
• Screenshot: Saves a screenshot of the current measurement (png file type).
• KML: Saves measurement data in Keyhole Markup Language format, including the instrument model number, installed options, sample data with GNSS (GPS) coordinates, if GNSS (GPS) is installed. (Option 431, Coverage Mapping only (Outdoor Map)). Note that the saved data is cumulative of all data points on the map or measurements since the map points were last cleared.
RECALL
Opens the Recall File dialog to retrieve a file from a desired location.
5G CAPTURE
Initiates a digitized 5G data capture. 5G captures are saved to the internal storage space in the captures folder (bin file type). This feature is meant to help identify 5GNR signal characteristics during early development.
5G CSV LOGGING
CAPTURE SYNC FAIL
Automatically initiates a digitized 5G data capture when synchronization fails. The setting can be configured to capture just a single event or repeat events. 5G captures are saved to the internal storage space.
