Summary

AWRDE provides the Output File object to allow S-Parameters to be generated. You have to add an Output File to your project and the file is then written/updated every time analysis is run. Because of this (frequently unwanted) update behavior, a very common set of operations is to add an output file, run the analysis, and then delete the output file. This script automates that process.

A dialog is presented that allows the user to select a data source type (schematic, EM structure, or Data File) and then select the specific source object from a dropdown list:  This also shows off the Dialog Function that allows advanced controls of a dialog.  You will see this when you select the data source type, the pull-down controls will either activate or deactivate.  

The name of the exported file is the same as the name of the data source and the proper extension (S2P, S3P, etc) is automatically added. I recommend you install this as a global script so it's available from any project.
