    Hi Alberth,

     

    For StandardConfigurations you can find S11 similar to this (VSWR can be derived):

    For SParameterConfigurations you find S12, S21,.. similar to this:

    Hi Alberth,

    When people read values from the *.out file, I always have to ask why. The *.out file content changes and accessing the data via POSTFEKO's API would be my suggested route.
