Beginning with Rev. 4.5, PLTS can make measurements using the following 4 port ENA models without external test sets:
E5070B-414 - 4-port test set, 300 kHz to 3 GHz
E5071B-414 - 4-port test set, 300 kHz to 8 GHz
E5071C-440 - 4-port test set, 9 kHz to 4.5 GHz without bias tees
E5071C-445 - 4-port test set, 100 kHz to 4.5 GHz with bias tees
E5071C-480 - 4-port test set, 9 kHz to 8.5 GHz without bias tees
E5071C-485 - 4-port test set, 100 kHz to 8.5 GHz with bias tees
E5071C-4K5 - 4-port test set, 300 kHz to 20 GHz with bias tees
See the E5071C ENA Online Help file.
Beginning with PLTS 2016, PLTS can make measurements using the following ENA models without external test sets:
See the E5080A ENA Online Help file.
PLTS requires that the ENA have firmware A.08.00 or higher.
Only the 4 port ENA’s are supported and only 4 port calibrations are supported.
Calibration is not as flexible. It supports ECal, SOLT, and TRL but does not support Adapter Removal and Unknown Thru on the ENA.
For doing 4-port ECal with the E5071C for PLTS measurements, the user should manually enable the Unknown THRU feature in the E5071C's Ecal menu.
N-port functionality is not supported for data collection with the ENA. Max is 4 ports and PLTS does not recognize the E5092A test set.
AFR - the ENA is not supported for data collection. The user can collect the data and load the Touchstone files into the Wizard. However, the measure buttons will not return an error.
Probe Cal Kit download not supported.
TRL Cal Kit Wizard - direct measurement not supported.
Round-robin wizard is not supported.
Port remapping is not supported.
ENA-TDR mode is not supported. Instrument must be running in standard mode.
