Remote Status ← RF port table
Indicates the remote connection status.
The RF port belongs to a secondary instrument; the remote connec-
tion to the secondary instrument can be established.
The remote connection is active during the time the correction files
are transferred to the secondary instruments.
The term secondary instrument describes a signal generator con-
nected in a primary-secondary mode and receiving the multi-instru-
ment trigger from the primary instrument (see "System Configuration
> Multi Instrument > Common Trigger > Multi Instrument Trigger =
Secondary")
and yellow
background
At least one of the secondary instruments cannot be reached, that is
the remote connection to it cannot be established.
Check the "Hostname / IP Address" of the secondary instrument and
select "Refresh" to check the status.
Additional S-Parameters Files ← RF port table
Indicates the filename of the S-Parameter files used during the calibration process or
the S-Parameter files loaded subsequently.
During calibration, you may load S-Parameter files which describe the cables between
the signal generator and the network analyzer. In this case, the correction data for the
setup is calculated so that it excludes the correction values listed in the S-Parameter
files. This allows you to exchange the S-Parameter files subsequently if you, for exam-
ple, use different cables to connect the DUT to the outputs of the signal generator.
Click the filename to retrieve details on the loaded files or to select a different file, see
Chapter 10.4.2.4, "Additional S-Parameter Files Settings", on page 665.
Save Setup .../Save Setup as ...
Saves the setup configuration in a file.
The "*" symbol behind the filename in the dialog header indicates unsaved settings. It
appears whenever you change any of the settings in the dialog.
To overwrite the current file, select "Save Setup ... ".
To retain the setup file content, select "Save Setup as ...".
