:CALCulate{1-16}:NXN:FILe <char1>, <string>
:CALCulate{1-16}:NXN:FILe?
Description
The command sets the indicated NXN device or device-pair S2P filename on the indicated channel where the device refers to a single device or a device pair. An example is when defining a three-device system such as three mixers where one device becomes the calibration standard. The parameters are:
• DEV1 = Device 1
• DEV2 = Device 2
• DEV3 = Device 3
• DEV12 = Device 1 and Device 2
• DEV13 = Device 1 and Device 3
• DEV23 = Device 2 and Device 3
On the indicated channel, the query outputs the indicated NXN device or device pair S2P filename.
Cmd Parameters
<char1> DEV1 | DEV2 | DEV3 | DEV12 | DEV13 | DEV23
<string> Filename and path in the form: ‘x:\directory\filename.s2p’ where x:\directory\filename.s2p must exist. See Programming the VectorStar Series VNAs, Notational Conventions for more information.
