Page 7: Retrieving The S-Parameters
The R&S HA-Z24E stores the S-parameters as a touchstone (.S2P) file on the device. You can read out those values from a connected PC. Prerequisites To read out values from the R&S HA-Z24E, the PC must meet the following pre- requisites: ● Windows7 or Windows10 operating system in the 64-bit version ●... -
Page 8: Starting The Software
Do not connect multiple R&S HA-Z24E preamplifiers to the same PC at the same time. ► Connect the USB connector of the R&S HA-Z24E to the two USB ports of the PC using the provided y-shaped USB cable. If you connect the R&S HA-Z24E to only one USB port, it does not work. -
