6.17.5.1 Controls on the External Ports Tab
The buttons in the "External Ports" panel open the following dialogs:
●
"Define Ports...", see Chapter 6.17.5.2, "Define Physical Ports Dialog",
on page 728
●
"Switch Matrix...", see Chapter 6.17.5.3, "External Matrices Dialog", on page 729
●
"RF Connections...", see Chapter 6.17.5.5, "Switch Matrix RF Connections Dialog",
on page 734
"RF Connections" is enabled if at least one switch matrix is configured.
Optimization
Allows you to select between different switch matrix routing optimizations:
●
"Speed" – switch as little as possible
●
"Precision" – always use the best possible route in terms of quality ("priority")
See Chapter 5.7.27.4, "Multiple Paths: Precision vs. Speed", on page 249 for back-
ground information.
The selection is only enabled, if at least one of the connected switch matrices has mul-
tiple routes with non-identical priorities.
6.17.5.2 Define Physical Ports Dialog
Allows you to redefine the physical VNA ports (see Chapter 5.3.1.2, "Redefined S-
Parameters", on page 116).
Access: SYSTEM – [SETUP] > "External Ports" > "Define Ports..."
●
Redefined physical ports are global, persistent settings, i.e. they are valid for all
recall sets. A [PRESET] does not reset the physical port configuration.
●
Redefining physical ports causes a factory reset.
The factory reset deletes all switch matrix RF connections.
