About Measurement Parameters

Description

Note: This method is replaced by Create SParameter method. The Load port selection is no longer necessary.

Creates a new S-Parameter measurement in an existing or new window and specifies the load port for 3-port devices.

Application (object)

chan

(long integer) - Channel number of the new measurement.

recvr

(long integer) - Port number of the test port receiver.

source

Note: If the port is defined by a string name, such as an external source, a balanced port, or one of the Source 2 outputs on the 2-port 2-source PNA-x model, then you must use chan.getPortNumber to translate the string into a port number. To learn more see Remotely Specifying a Source Port.

loadPort

If unspecified, the S-Parameter will be created in the Active Window.
