ZNA, ZNB, ZND - Power off after stop of the Sweep?

ZNx: Marker read out of other traces with remote commands

I have several traces with markers in one channel. When I query the result of marker 1 I always get the response of trace 1. How can I get the result of marker 1 for trace 2?

Is the auto cal unit ZV-Z53 with 75 Ohms accepted from ZNB/ZND/ZVA?

I want to do a calibration with 75 Ohms at the ZNB/ZND/ZVA. Do these VNAs accept the auto cal unit ZV-Z53 with 75 Ohms impedance?

ZNA - Power Added Efficiency Plugin

The attached pdf document explains how to install the tool and how to configure the remote connection to the HMP power supply.

Export complex data of a trace with mathematics and time gating

VNA - do I really need a sliding match for calibration?

ZNA, ZNB, ZND, ZNL – Export of time domain trace

When I export the time domain trace the stimulus values are in Hz, but not in seconds as shown on the screen. How can I get the export in time or distance?

ZBA: Define the VNA as true differential signal generator

I want to use my ZNA as true differential signal generator for a constant CW signal.

ZNA, ZNB, ZNL Execution error “Calibration standard is not used“

I perform a calibration with remote commands. With the command to start the calibration sweep with a short standard I get this error message. What is the problem?

ZNA/ZNB/ZND - Export of all Traces of a channel into a CSV file via remote control

How can I export the traces of a specific channel into one file, i.e. CSV?

Automatically restart with return of the AC power

Is it possible to automatically restart a ZNB with return of the AC power?

ZNA / ZVA / ZNB - no correction data for Sliding matches?

I got a calibration kit with a sliding match standard. But there are no correction values for the NWA supplied.

Query the data of all traces at once

Is there a way to query the data of all traces at once?

VNA calibration warning that the active cal kit does not contain all needed standards

Active cal kit or cal unit does not contain all standards needed for selected cal procedure.

Calibration of two channels simultaneously with remote commands

How do I calculate the logarithmic frequency steps for the horizontal axis?

How do I calculate these frequency points when I have a logarithmic sweep and know the center frequency, the span and the number of sweep points?

Query of the x-values (frequency) of a trace

I query the values of a trace using scpi commands. But I get the y-values only. Is there a possibility to get the y-values also (frequency)?

File-Transfer from Device to PC via LAN connection (simple way)

I have a file on my device. How can I get it in a simple way to my PC?
