bug Network analyzer bug in saving files

[gasstationwithoutpumps]

I think that I have tickled a bug in Waveforms 2015 (version 3.5.4 and at least one earlier version) when outputting Network data files.

The Network tool allows you to sweep the frequency down instead of up, which is very handy when using very low frequencies, as the auto setup does an extra two runs at the first frequency, which can take a lot of extra time if the low frequency is 100mHz.  Everything works great, until you save the data.  The frequencies in the file are not properly paired with the other columns—it looks like the frequencies are being regenerated sweeping upward, even though all the data in the other columns is for the frequency sweeping downward.

Hello,

Thank you for the observation. Bug is fixed for the next software release.

To get rid of the "extra two runs" please select fixed (not auto) offset and range for channel 1,2.

Thanks.  I knew that the extra runs were from the auto offset and range, but because the auto setting doesn't tell me what settings it chose, I never knew exactly what to set them to, and I was too busy to do a lot of experimenting.
