Single Connection Multiple Measurement Configuration
(Option 014 Only)
Single connection multiple measurements (SCMM) can be configured with Option 014
analyzers. Using the PORT 1 SWITCH/COUPLER and the PORT 2 SWITCH/COUPLER
ports, you can insert a switch which can then connect other test instruments through the
analyzer to the DUT. This makes it easy to make several different types of measurements
without having to disconnect your device under test from the test ports. Refer to Figure
1-82.
Figure 1-82 Single Connection Multiple Measurement Configuration
NOTE The common port of the external switches MUST be connected to the PORT 1
and PORT 2 COUPLER access PORTS.
External switches can be controlled by an external switch driver like the HP/Agilent
11713A Attenuator/Switch Driver. The TEST SET-I/O INTERCONNECT connector located
on the rear panel of the analyzer, can also control external switches. Refer to Figure 1-81
on page 1-112. Table 1-6 on page 1-113 contains a complete list of this connector’s pins.
Controlling External Switches
The following are different ways to control the external switches used in the SCMM mode
of operation. The analyzer is used as the controller.
