SENSe:PATH:CONFig:CATalog?

(Read-only) Returns a list of configuration names stored in the PNA.
Examples	SENS:PATH:CONF:CAT?
Return Type	Comma-separated list of double-quoted strings
Default	Not Applicable

SENSe<ch>:PATH:CONFig:COPY <num>

(Write-only) Copies the mechanical switch and attenuator settings from the specified channel <num> to channel <ch>. To avoid potential conflicts, all port couplings in the calling channel will be turned OFF and all port attenuator settings will be set to manual before copying the switch or attenuator settings. The two channels CAN be of different measurement classes. Use SYSTem:MACRo:COPY:CHANnel to copy ALL settings from one channel to another.
Parameters
<ch>	Channel number to copy mechanical settings to. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<num>	Channel number to copy mechanical settings from.
Examples	'Copies mechanical settings from chan 2 to chan 1. SENS1:PATH:CONF:COPY 2
Return Type	Not Applicable
Default	Not Applicable

SENSe:PATH:CONFig:DELete <string>

(Write-only) Deletes the specified configuration name from the PNA. The factory configurations cannot be deleted. This is the only method of distinguishing a factory configuration from a user-named configuration.
Parameters
<string>	Configuration name to be deleted.
Examples	SENS:PATH:CONF:DEL "MyMixer"
Return Type	Not Applicable
Default	Not Applicable

SENSe:PATH:CONFig:DTEXt <string>

(Read-Write) Write and read descriptive text associated with the configuration. This text is displayed in the path configuration dialog. Text is generally used to describe external connections that must be made manually to complete the configuration setup.
Parameters
<string>	Descriptive text enclosed in quotes. Double quotes are not allowed within the descriptive text.
Examples	SENS:PATH:CONF:DTEX "Connect J1 jumper on the rear panel."
Query Syntax	SENSe<ch>:PATH:CONFig:DTEXt?
Return Type	String
Default	Not Applicable

SENSe<ch>:PATH:CONFig:ELEMent:CATalog?

(Read-only) Returns the names of configurable elements as a comma-delimited list of strings. See a list of configurable elements and settings for various PNA models.
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing channel number; if unspecified, value is set to 1.
Examples	SENS:PATH:CONF:ELEM:CAT? 'returns “Combiner”, “Src1”, “Src2”
Default	Not Applicable

SENSe<ch>:PATH:CONFig:ELEMent[:STATe] <elem>, <setting>

(Read-Write) Write or read the setting of a specified element in the current configuration. This command is used for both RF path and IF path configuration. RF Configuration elements and values IF Configuration elements and values (Includes IF Path, Pulse, and DSP elements)
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing channel number; if unspecified, value is set to 1.
<elem>	Name of the element for which a setting is to be made.
<setting>	Element setting. Use SENS:PATH:CONF:ELEM:VAL:CAT? to return a list of valid settings for the specified element.
Examples	SENS:PATH:CONF:ELEM "Combiner","Normal"
Query Syntax	SENSe<ch>:PATH:CONFig:ELEMent? "Combiner" Returns the current state of the Combiner element.
Return Type	String
Default	Not applicable

SENSe<ch>:PATH:CONFig:ELEMent:VALue:CATalog? <element>

(Read-only) Returns the list of valid settings that can be used with the specified element. See a list of configurable elements and settings for various PNA models.
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing channel number; if unspecified, value is set to 1.
<element>	String. Element name for which to return valid settings.
Examples	SENS:PATH:CONF:ELEM:VAL:CAT? "Combiner" 'returns "Normal", "Reversed"
Default	Not Applicable

SENSe<ch>:PATH:CONFig:NAME?

(Read-only) Returns the name of the current configuration only if NO individual element settings had been changed since selecting or storing a configuration. When element settings change, the path configuration name is cleared.
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing channel number; if unspecified, value is set to 1.
Examples	SENS:PATH:CONF:NAME? 'returns "Default"
Return Type	String
Default	Not Applicable

SENSe<ch>:PATH:CONFig:SELect <string>

(Write only) Loads the named configuration onto the specified channel. Note: Loading a stored configuration will over-write MANY RF and IF path configuration settings. Make your measurement settings AFTER recalling a stored configuration, NOT before. Use SENS:PATH:CONF:CAT? to return the configuration names that are stored on the PNA.
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing channel number; if unspecified, value is set to 1.
<string>	Configuration name. "Default" is the default factory configuration.
Examples	SENS:PATH:CONF:SEL 'default' sense2:path:CONFig:select "MyMixer"
Query Syntax	Not Applicable
Default	"Default"

SENSe<ch>:PATH:CONFig:STORe <name>

(Write only) Saves the path configuration currently associated with channel <ch> to the specified configuration name.
Parameters
<ch>	Any existing channel number; if unspecified, value is set to 1.
<name>	String. Configuration name. Factory configurations can NOT be overwritten. Specifying the name of a pre-defined factory configuration will result in an error.
Examples	SENS:PATH:CONF:STOR "MyMixer"
Query Syntax	Not Applicable
Default	Not Applicable
