11.5 VNA command reference
This chapter describes the SCPI commands implemented by the VNA mode of the
R&S ZNL/ZNLE.
Compatibility with R&S ZVB and older instruments
The SCPI command set for the R&S ZNL/ZNLE 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 Chapter 11.5.3, "R&S ZVR/ZVABT
compatible commands", on page 1026.
If you want to make full use of the R&S ZNL/ZNLE features but do not need R&S ZVR
compatibility, you should use the commands listed in Chapter 11.5.2, "SCPI command
reference", on page 645.
