Multiport Mode (Option 551)
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.
The following Test Set file must be installed into network analyzer file directory:
c:\Program Files\Keysight\Network Analyzer\testsets
4-Port PNA-L requires Test Set: u3042ae12_p4.tsx
4-Port PNA or PNA-X requires Test Set: u3042ae12_pnax_p4.tsx
