12.5 PMR-FilesFiles with the extension ”.pmr” are created by the PMD field tester mod-ule N3909A belonging to the Agilent Modular Network Tester (MNT)platform. These files can be imported into the polarizationNAVIGATORTMto be viewed. Furthermore, they can be exported as PDF reports (seechapter Report Generation (section 13) ).12.6 CD-FilesFiles with the extension ”.cd” are created by the 4-wavelength OTDRmodule N3916AL belonging to the Agilent Modular Network Tester(MNT) platform. These files can be imported into the polarizationNAVIGATORTMto be viewed. Furthermore, they can be exported as PDF reports (seechapter Report Generation (section 13) ).12.7 MATLAB File Handling12.7.1 Exporting MATLAB FilesIf you want to export data as MATLAB .mat-files use the menu en-try File→Export. Please choose a target filename with the extension”.mat”. Note that you need MATLAB to use this feature.If you load the .mat-file into the MATLAB workspace the variable ”Data”contains the exported information as a struct variable. Type in ”Data”to see the contents:Data Data =Lambda: [2077x1 double]DGD: [2077x1 double]PDL: [2077x1 double]Power: [2077x1 double]PDLDivided: [2077x2 double]PDLPSP: [2077x3 double]PSP: [2077x3 double]PMD2nd: [2077x1 double]Info: [1x1 struct]Mueller: [2077x16 double]Jones: [2077x4 double]See also PDL/PMD Application (section 6.2) .12.7.2 Loading PBIN-Files into MATLABYou can load PBIN-files into the MATLAB workspace using the followingcommand:Data=PBinRead(’Filename.pbin’);Note that you have to set a path into the directory containing the .m-files.This is typicallyC:\Program Files\Adaptif Photonics GmbH\PolarizationNavigator\Bin\Matlab\104 A1XXX/A2XXX/A3XXX User Guide
