  1. Refer to the main test equipment table for available cables and adapters listed by connector type.

  2. If needed, the GPIB address on the test set can be modified by following these steps ().
    1. Connect the new test set to the LAN.
    2. Open Keysight IO from the PC.
    3. Select Add Instrument from the menu.
    4. In the Add LAN Instrument window, locate the new test set on the LAN.
    5. Select the web page for the new test set and select the View & Modify Configuration tab at the left.
    6. Select Modify Configuration.

    7. Change the GPIB address and select Save.

    The new test set should now have the updated GPIB address.

Connection Setups

Due to the complexity of the PNA family of analyzers, the following notes apply to illustrations in the PNA Help:

  • Only a single representative PNA model will be shown. Therefore, port locations may differ in older PNA models than what is shown in the illustration. Refer to the port labels on the UUT.
  • Some illustrations may differ than those in TME.
  • If the test procedure applies to multiple ports, illustrations may show the setup on only one test port.
  • Setups for some option configurations may not appear in the Help.
