Applicable Models: All (Read-Write) When a VNA setting is made while a sweep is in progress, the sweep is immediately aborted by default. This command allows you to change that behavior by specifying a time threshold. When a setting change is made during a sweep and if the total sweep time is less than the threshold time, then the sweep is allowed to finish instead of immediately aborting. In general, VNA setting changes that could cause an aborted sweep are changes that affect how a measurement is made, such as changes in stimulus conditions. For example, with a threshold setting of 60 seconds:
Notes:

|
Parameters |
|
|
<value> |
Threshold time in seconds. Set to 0 to immediately abort a sweep when a VNA setting is made. |

Applicable Models: All (Read-Write) Sets and reads the state of channel coupling. This causes the VNA to emulate Keysight 8720 channel coupling. When set to ON, all existing S-parameter channels receive the stimulus settings of the active channel. Subsequent changes made to any coupled channel are changed on all coupled channels. Channels with applications such as SMC, VMC, GCA, Noise, IMD are not affected. Coupling is primarily aimed at stimulus settings (such as start, stop, points, power) but also applies to many trigger settings and to Cal Set pointers. |

Applicable Models: N522xB, N523xB, N524xB, M937xA, P937xA (Write-only) Sets up multiple channels for manual trigger and provides a method of triggering multiple channels using manual trigger. There are several prerequisites for using this command:
If the above conditions are not met, then the command will generate an error which describes what is at fault. If the above conditions are met, then the trigger count for the specified channels is set to 1. Issuing an *OPC? query will indicate when the first channel is armed (ready for manual trigger). It is not necessary to wait for *OPC? before sending INIT:IMM to trigger the first channel. After the first channel is triggered, *OPC? will indicate when all armed channels have finished acquiring data. Channels will be sorted by channel number, and acquire in order from lowest channel number first to highest channel number last. |

However, it could be used for other purposes such as emulation of another vendor’s instrument. The change to the manufacturer string will not take effect until after an instrument reboot. The manufacturer string does not allow commas in the name. If a comma is detected an error is returned. Also, if an invalid manufacturer is detected, an error is returned. The manufacturer string used for Keysight is “Keysight Technologies”. |

Applicable Models: All (Write-only) Deletes all traces, measurements, and windows. In addition, resets the analyzer to factory defined default settings and creates a S11 measurement named "CH1_S11_1". For a list of default settings, see Preset. Regardless of the state of the User Preset Enable checkbox, the SYST:PRESet command will always preset the VNA to the factory preset settings, and SYST:UPReset will always perform a User Preset. If the VNA display is disabled with DISP:ENAB OFF then SYST:PRES will NOT enable the display. This command performs the same function as *RST with one exception: Syst:Preset does NOT reset Calc:FORMAT to ASCII as does *RST. |
