R&S ZNB/ZNBT
7 Command reference
This chapter describes all common commands and SCPI commands implemented by
the analyzer.
Validity of the command set
The commands reported in this chapter are valid for vector network analyzers with any
number of ports. However, some of the program examples assume that more than 2
ports are available. In most cases, a simple adjustment of the port suffixes or parame-
ters ensures compatibility with 2-port analyzers.
Compatibility with R&S ZVB and older instruments
The SCPI command set for the R&S ZNB/ZNBT vector network analyzer has been
designed for compatibility with network analyzers R&S ZVA and R&S ZVB. A special
subset of commands has been implemented for compatibility with older analyzers of
the R&S ZVR family. These commands are listed in
compatible
If you want to make full use of the R&S ZNB/ZNBT features but do not need R&S ZVR
compatibility, you should use the commands listed in
