2. For each matrix VNA port (the "north" ports in the graphical representation), specify
the connected VNA port or define it as "Unused" if no such connection exists.
For every matrix, there must be at least one RF connection to the VNA.
3. Select
Unusable matrix test ports are marked with an "x". If the result does not suit your
needs, consider the switchable paths of your matrix and adjust the matrix VNA port
connections (see
on page 271). Then select "Renumber Test Ports" again.
You can tweak the resulting test port assignment by renumbering the test ports and/or
setting some of the matrix test ports to "Unused" (see
on page 799). Configuration errors are displayed in balloon popups appearing at the
lower left corner of the dialog.
