Hallo,

we are storing our measured data, e. g. s-parameters from the VNA,
transistor parameter sets, load-pull data, intermodulatioon data, etc.
in ASCII-Files, formated in Touchstone or MDIF.

We think it would be a good idea to change to XML-formats to make it
easier to import data in external software products like EXCEL and we
could write our own software faster using XML-tools for parsing.

But it makes not so much sense to define out own syntax. We woulkd
prefer to have a standard with naming and structure conventions for
microwave measurement data. Then data and application would be
portable and exchangable. We asked Agilent and R&S which might be the
ones to set standards like this, but there seems no much activity yet.

Does anybody in this group know about such activities?

Regards
Roland Gesche
