Loading Data Into Network Data Explorer

If right-clicked a sweep to launch Network Data Explorer, the current solution data is loaded and ready for viewing. Otherwise you must load a data file.

You can import these file types:

• Touchstone Format (*.s*p)
• Touchstone 2 Format (*.ts)
• Citifile (*.cit)
• Neutral Format (*.nmf)
• State Space File (*.sss)
  Note:

  When this type of file is loaded, Network Data Explorer regenerates s-parameter data based on the file.

  You can compare the regenerated s-parameters to the original data.

To import a file into Network Data Explorer, either drag and drop an analysis from the Project Manager into Network Data Explorer or

1. On the NDE ribbon, click Open. The Open dialog box appears.
2. Navigate to and select a file.
3. Click Open. The file appears in the Files tree.

You can open multiple files at once with the file browser. However, the displayed data always corresponds to the data set indicated in the Network Data Selection pane. Click the file you want in that pane to switch between data sets. Use Shift and Ctrl to select and display data sets from multiple files simultaneously.
