Controlling the System with the PNA-X
Controlling the System with the PNA-X
This section will describe how to operate the Test Set with the PNA-X.
A PNA-X must be used to control the Test Set using the Test Set I/O interface on the rear
panel. There are three methods to control the Test Set. Multiport mode is recommended due to
ease of use and multiport calibration capability (N-Port).

Sweep Setup for Multiport and Standalone PNA Modes
Due to the extra electrical length of the test set and test port cables, it is recommended that the
analyzer’s Sweep Setup be configured to Stepped Sweep before calibrating. This is slower than
the Analog Sweep, but is more accurate. Stepped Sweep is available on all PNA models.
1. On the PNA select STIMULUS > Sweep > Sweep Setup.
2. Select Stepped Sweep.
3. Set the Dwell Time to 5 μs > OK.
