The state file to save after running a calibration.

Setting this value will save the PNA state after calibration is completed.

It is recommended and good practice to load (see LoadFilename) the calibration setup before and save it after the calibration is run. This way the state that will be used for running a measurement can be recalled after the calibration is completed.

The filename must include the extension to determine the type of state file to be saved. See Keysight explanation: saving and recalling state files.

  • *.csa - save Instrument state and actual Cal Set data (cal/state archive)
  • *.cst - save Instrument state and a link to the Cal Set data.
  • *.sta - save Instrument state ONLY (no calibration data)
  • *.cal - save actual Calibration data ONLY (no Instrument state)

Note: If a directory path is provided in the name then the file is searched for in that directory, otherwise the file is searched for in the directory specified by the key DirectoryToUse.

This key corresponds with the PNA SCPI command "MMEMory:STORe[:<char>] <file>" parameter as explained in the Keysight Documentation
