3 Firmware V3.15
Version 3.15 of the R&S ZNB/ZNBT firmware provides the following changes:
New functionality
●
Measurement uncertainty analysis using METAS VNA Tools (option R&S ZNB-K50/
K50P) for all R&S ZNB models:
– "METAS Calibration" using calibration kits with uncertainties
– Real-time visualization of measurement uncertainty
– Verification using verification kits with uncertainties
– Real-time visualization of verification results
– Export to METAS VNA Tools for offline analysis
See Chapter 5.7.7, "Measurement Uncertainty Analysis", on page 228
For the R&S ZNBT, this option is not available.
●
Transmission measurements: "parallel" converted impedance and admittance mod-
eling (in addition to "series" modeling). New measurement results and marker for-
mats
See "Parallel Transmission Impedance" on page 123
●
New software option R&S ZNB-K210/R&S ZNBT-K210 "Eazy De-embedding"
(EZD) based on IEEE 370
See Chapter 5.7.8, "Eazy De-embedding Based on IEEE 370", on page 230
●
New software option R&S ZNB-K220/R&S ZNBT-K220 "In-situ De-Embedding"
See Chapter 5.7.9, "In-situ De-Embedding", on page 232
●
New software option R&S ZNB-K230/R&S ZNBT-K230 "Smart Fixture De-embed-
ding"
See Chapter 5.7.10, "Smart Fixture De-Embedding", on page 232
●
New software option R&S ZNB-K231/R&S ZNBT-K231 "Delta-L 4.0 PCB Charac-
terization"
See Chapter 5.7.11, "Delta-L 4.0 PCB Characterization", on page 232
●
New "Disable all other Measurements" trace function:
– Disables all channels, except the active one
– Disables all traces in the active channel, except the active one
– Hides all diagrams except the active one
The previous configuration can be restored using the complementary "Enable all
Measurements" function
See Disable all other Measurements/Enable all Measurements
●
New automatic gain control algorithm (R&S ZNB only!)
Note that the new "Memory AGC" algorithm has become the factory default for the
R&S ZNB. You can reactivate the legacy "Point AGC" algorithm in the "System
Config" dialog.
See "Global AGC (R&S ZNB only!)" on page 711.
Modified functionality
●
"Save Report" button in system info dialog relabeled to "Create R&S Support Infor-
mation"
