●
The receivers and generators can be freely assigned, but without reusing the same
(original) physical port in different (redefined) ports.
●
Redefining physical ports causes a reset and deletes all switch matrix RF connec-
tions
This can be used to insert external components (e.g. external signal separating devi-
ces, power amplifiers etc.) into the signal path to develop custom measurements, e.g.
to test high-power devices and extend the dynamic range.

High Signal Power
When dealing with external signal amplification, make sure that:
●
the signals fed to the analyzer are within the allowed range
●
during calibration the calibration standards meet the requirements in terms of their
power handling capacity
Attenuator pads can be used to adapt the power levels.
