Controlling the Test Set with N5242A/B

This section will describe how to operate the test set with the analyzer.
The internal firmware of the analyzer has not been modified for this test set
option. Power levels may differ from those indicated on the network
analyzer when the test set is connected.
The test set is considered a "secondary" instrument. The PNA-X must be used to control the
test set. There are three methods to control the test set. Multiport mode is recommended due
to calibration and ease of use.
• "Multiport Mode" on page
• "Interface Control" on page
• "SCPI Control Mode" on page

Typeface Key Conventions

The following key conventions are used throughout this document.
• [HARDKEYS] are labeled front panel keys
• SOFTKEYS are indicated on the instrument display
• (Italicized in parenthesis) are menu paths for the 'B' model analyzer.

Sweep Setup for Multiport and Standalone Modes

Due to the extra electrical length of the test set and test port cables, it is
recommended that the analyzer's Sweep Setup be configured to Stepped
Sweep before calibrating. This is slower than the Analog Sweep, but is more
accurate. Stepped Sweep is available on all PNA models.
1. On the PNA select STIMULUS > Sweep > Sweep Setup.
2. Select Stepped Sweep.
3. Set the Dwell Time to 5 μs > OK.
