Connecting the Instrument for Transmission Measurements
To prepare a transmission measurement, you have to connect your DUT (which for
simplicity we assume to have appropriate connectors) in-between a pair of analyzer
test ports. It is recommended that you preset the R&S
ZND to start from a well-defined
instrument state.

1. Connect the DUT between test ports 1 and 2 of the network analyzer as shown
above.
2. Switch on the instrument and start the VNA application.
Proceed as described in
Chapter 3.7, "Starting the Analyzer and Shutting Down"
3. Use the [PRESET] key to restore a well-defined instrument state.
The analyzer is now set to its default state. The default measured quantity is the
transmission S-parameter S

.
Select TRACE – [TRACE
CONFIG] and use the control elements in the "Traces" soft-
tool tab if you wish to create additional traces and diagrams.
