System features Test set control Control of the switches inside the test set and calibration of the test system can be accomplished from the front panel of the network analyzer—an external computer is not required. However, the analyzers are fully programmable for use in automated test environments.
Disk drive Trace data, instrument states (including calibration data), and IBASIC programs can be saved on floppy disks using the built-in 3.5 inch disk drive. All files are stored in MS-DOS®-compatible format. Instrument data can be saved in binary or ASCII format (including Touchstone/.s2p format), and screen graphics can be saved as PCX (bit-mapped), HP-GL (vector), or PCL5 (printer) files.
System features (continued) NFS The analyzer’s built-in NFS (network file system) client provides access to remote files and directories using the LAN. With NFS, remote files and directories (stored remotely on a computer) behave like local files and directories (stored locally within the analyzer). Test data taken by the network analyzer can be saved directly to a remote PC or UNIX® directory, eliminating the need for a remotely initiated ftp session.
Other calibrations Besides using a Test Set Cal, individual instrument states and their corresponding calibrations can be saved and recalled for use with specific measurement paths. For example, to improve measurement throughput, one signal path could be tested using a response calibration, while all other paths are tested with a Test Set Cal using two-port calibration. Note: the SelfCal feature is only supported with Test Set Cals.
