1. Order special model N524xAS instead of N524xA and add items N524xA-200 and
N524xAS-H85 for 2-port, extended power range, high power configuration, or items
N524xA-400 and N524xAS-H85 for 4-port, extended power range, high power configura-
tion. Order N524xA-xxx items for other standard options. Option H85 includes the extended
power range of Options 219 and 419, and therefore, they cannot be ordered together.
2. For source-corrected measurements, Options 028 and 029 on N5241/42/49A units require
an ECal module for use as an impedance tuner. N5244/45/47A units include a built-in
tuner. For calibration, Options 029 requires either a 346-series noise source (Agilent 346C
recommended) or a power meter, while Option 028 requires a power meter. All options
require a power meter for measuring mixers and converters.
3. Option 082 is a subset of Option 083; therefore, they cannot be ordered together.
4. When configured as a multiport analyzer using Option 551 and a multiport test set, the
combiner feature of Option 224 or 423 is temporarily disabled. When configured as a
standalone analyzer, the combiner feature is enabled. When ordering a test set, select an
option to specify the appropriate interconnect jumper cable set between the analyzer and
the test set.
