Hi All,

We want to record S11 and S21 data simultaneously following a single fwd
sweep and S22, S12 data following a single rev sweep from PNA-L N5230A by
using vee 6.0 via gpib. Is it possible to get all 4 S-parameters at one
time? Would someone be able to advise me the SCPI (gpib) commands and some
examples? Many thanks.

Best wishes for a nice weekend.

Zheng-Shu,

Thank you very much! It was a pretty weird day, but things are looking up.

I don't know this instrument, but I think I may have found just what you
need. Check out:
