9.7.3 Reference: Transducer Factor File Format
Transducer factor data can be exported to a file in ASCII (CSV) format for further eval-
uation in other applications. Transducer factors stored in the specified ASCII (CSV) for-
mat can also be imported to the R&S FPL1000 for other measurements.
For more information about transducer factors, see "Import" on page 530.
This reference describes in detail the format of the export/import files for transducer
factors. Note that the bold data is mandatory, all other data is optional.
Different language versions of evaluation programs may require a different handling of
the decimal point. Thus, you can define the decimal separator to be used (see "Deci-
mal Separator" on page 448).

9.7.4 How to Configure the Transducer
Configuring the transducer is very similar to configuring transducer factors.
The transducer settings are defined in the "Transducer" dialog box which is displayed
when you press the [Setup] key and then select "Transducer".
