:CALCulate{1-16}: SNPSetup:S3P:REASsign:PORTs{123 | 124 | 134 | 234}?
Description:
This command requires a 4-port VNA instrument. Set the port reassignments to use for S3P data file save for given s3p port selection on the channel indicated.
The query outputs the port reassignments to use for S3P data file save for the given s3p port on the channel indicated
The port assignments are set by three <char> values where:
• The <char1> value sets the lowest port assignment (ie port 1 if the port selection is 123).
• The <char2> value sets the next lowest port assignment (ie port 2 if the port selection is 123).
• The <char3> value sets the third port assignment (ie port 3 if the port selection is 123)
• When considered as a set, the value of each <char> must be unique and is one of the port in the port selection.
Cmd Parameters:
<char1> varies depending on the port selection
Query Parameters:
NA
Query Output:
<char> PORT1 | PORT2 | PORT3 | PORT4
Syntax Example:
:CALC1:SNPS:S3P:REAS:PORT123 PORT2, PORT3, PORT1
