Controlling the Test Set with N5242A/B
Multiport Mode
Multiport mode selects the test set file that will enable the network analyzer to control the test
set. Multiport mode allows you to complete a N-Port calibration using the Cal Wizard
application in the network analyzer. Refer to the Help system for more information.
For multiport operation (N-Port error correction and measurement capability) all “A” model
network analyzers require Option 551, and all “B” model analyzers require Software
Application S93551B. For “B” models in which the system is configured with more than 8 test
ports, it is recommended to use PLTS Software N1930B to manage/control any advanced
network analyzer measurement applications and their large data files.
The 4-Port PNA-X requires Test Set file:
u3022am42_pnax_p4
If the test set is not available in the drop-down list, it will be necessary for you to copy the
required test set file to the analyzer’s hard drive.
The current version of the test set files are available on Keysight's website:
http://na.support.keysight.com/multiport/testsetsupport.html
Copy the appropriate file to
c:\Program Files(x86)\Keysight\Network Analyzer\TestSets.
