Is RF toolbox able to read touchstone v2 (.ts) files ?

I want to know what touchstone formats Matlab and RF toolbox can read. Touchstone v1 (.s2p, .s4p, .s8p, ...?) Touchstone v2 (.ts) ?

Thanks ! Damien

RF Toolbox can read Touchstone v1, e.g.

>> S = sparameters('default.s4p')

If the file doesn't end in .sNp, the sparameters function throws a warning but it still works, e.g.

>> S = sparameters('passive.ts')

It seems R2019a does't like all aspects of *.tx file format:

>> s = sparameters('TX3-RX3_1.5m_2020jan27.ts');

Warning: The extension .ts is unrecognized. Attempting to read the file using the Touchstone format.
