I have a multiport network, and I want to export the data set to a Touchstone file. Selecting Export and choosing S-parameter files (i.e. here s6p) I do get a file but this do not adhere to a true Touchstone formatted file.
According to the help files this file should be
Fq S11 S12 S13 S14
S15 S16
S21 S22 S23 S24
S25 S26
etc.
What I get is something like this:
Fq S11 S12 S13 S14
S15 S16
S21 S22
S23 S24 S25 S26
etc.
Am I doing something wrong here??

Now import to a new workspace with a simple 3-port network, using the data I just saved. Now the S12 and S13 shows positive numbers i.e. gain. Something has reversed!
I made sure port 1 always set as input and 2,3 set as outputs.
Update:
Looking at the specifications for an input file this is not what a Touchstone file format specifies. AND it does not conform to the export format. I.e. the program cannot read the file that it has previously exported (in a correct way).
I suggest that if you want to keep the formats for export and import (legacy reasons) why not add a Touchstone tick box allowing to use the industry standard? This goes for both import and export!
