S93080A

PNA-X

N522xB

Frequency Offset Mode (FOM)

Enables you to set the VNA source independently from where the receivers are tuned. This capability is important for measuring mixers and converters. Learn more.

S93082A (PNA), S96082A (ENA)

ALL models

Scalar Mixer Measurements (SMC)

Allows Only the Scalar Mixer Converter (SMC) portion of the Frequency Converter Measurement Application. Provides the same intuitive user-interface, easy calibration, and external source control for making fixed and swept LO Scalar Mixer measurements. When used with a multiport VNA or external test set, SMC is only available on VNA ports 1 and 2.

PNA requires Opt S93080A. ENA S96082A includes FOM function.

*OPT? and Options COM Behavior

Some of the VNA option numbers returned when using the *OPT? SCPI command or IApplication::Options COM command are not the same as the option numbers returned when using the SYST:CAP:LIC:CAT? command or IApplication::Licenses COM command. The following table shows how the common option numbers map to the option numbers reported when using *OPT? command or the IApplication::Options COM command.
