Working with Circuits

In addition to building and specifying circuits, the RF Tool GUI allows you to perform the following tasks:

• Deleting Circuits

• Renaming Circuits

Deleting Circuits

To delete a circuit from your session:

1. Select the circuit in the RF Component List pane.

2. Click Delete.

Note   If the circuit you delete is a network, RF Tool deletes the network everything in the network.

Renaming Circuits

To rename a component or a network:

1. Select the component or network in the RF Component List pane.

2. Type the new name in the Name field of the Component Parameters pane.

3. Click Apply.

Working with Sessions

The work you do with RF Tool is organized into sessions. Each session is a collection of independent RF circuits, which can be RF components or RF networks.

This section contains the following topics:

• Naming or Renaming a Session

• Saving a Session

• Opening an Existing Session

• Starting a New Session

Naming or Renaming a Session

To name or rename an RF session:

1. Select the session, or top-level node, in the RF Component List pane. (The session is selected by default when you open the RF Tool GUI.)

2. Type the desired name in the Name field of the Component Parameters pane.

3. Click Apply.

Saving a Session

To save your session, select Save Session or Save Session As from the File menu. The first time you save a session a browser opens, prompting you for a file name.

Note   The default file name is the session name with any characters that are not alphanumeric converted to underscores (_). The name of the session itself is unchanged.

For example, to save your session as Test.rf in your current working directory, you would type Test in the File name field as shown above. RF Tool adds the .rf extension automatically to all RF Tool sessions you save.

If the name of your session is gk's session, the default file name is gk_s_session.rf.

Opening an Existing Session

You can load an existing session into RF Tool by selecting Open Session from the File menu. A browser enables you to select from your previously saved sessions.

Before opening the requested session, RF Tool prompts you to save your current session.

Starting a New Session

To start a new session, select New Session from the File menu. A new session opens in RF Tool. All its values are set to their defaults.

Before starting a new session, RF Tool prompts you to save your current session.
