Controlling the System with the PNA-X
PNA-X Multiport Mode
The PNA-X requires Option 551 for Multiport mode. The PNA-X must have the Test Set file
installed to enable the PNA-X to control the Test Set. The PNA-X Multiport mode allows you
to select measurement ports, complete an N-Port calibration, operate control lines, and
rename test ports. Refer to the Help menu for more information.
If you change from Multiport mode to Standard PNA mode, send command 0.0
and 16.0. This will default the source and receiver paths in the Test Set
and allow the PNA-X ports to operate. Refer to
Paths with Address and Data Inputs" on page
The <address> <data> commands will only function while the PNA is in
Standalone Mode. Select
Restart as a standalone PNA > OK
. Refer to
