Matrix Setup and Operation at the R&S
ZNx
Setting up a switch matrix at the R&S
ZNx firmware typically involves the follow-
ing steps:
1. establish the physical connection via the appropriate management interface
(USB, LAN or Direct Control)
2. register the matrix (as managed object)
3. define the RF configuration:
a) configure the matrix-VNA-connections according to the existing (or plan-
ned) physical connections between VNA test ports and matrix VNA ports
b) assign the matrix test ports and the remaining VNA ports (i.e. those that
are not connected to a matrix VNA port) to DUT test ports
After this initial setup, the analyzer takes control of the attached matrices: it con-
figures the test ports and dynamically establishes the required matrix through-
connections according to the current measurement task.
