Need Help with Agilant E5061 ENA Network analyzer. Please

[Johnny-Come-Lately]

Hi All,

I am trying to setup my network analyzer to take impedance measurement (R + XJ smith chart) of my UUT  , at different fixed frequencies. I need to set my NA to :

Network Analyzer settings

• Format = Smith / R+jX
• Measure = “S11”
• Scale = “Auto Scale“,.

“Scale/Div = 1.0000UFS”,
“Electrical delay = 0.0000s”

• Average = “Average Factor = 2“
  “Averaging = ON”

    “SMO Aperture = 1.5000%”
    “Smoothing = OFF”.
    “IF Bandwidth = 300 Hz”.

• Center = 30 MHz
• Span = 0
• Sweep Setup= “Sweep Time = Auto”
  “Sweep Delay = 0.0000s ”
  “Points = 10”
  “Sweep Type = Lin Freq”
• Trigger = “Continuous = ON” 
  “Trigger Source = Internal”

Marker = “Marker 1 = ON”
“Ref marker Mode = OFF”

I tried modifying the example program but it doesn't work. please help me if you are familiar with this network analyzer. thanks.

Could you decribe to us a little bit more about why it doesn't work? Are you getting an error message? Does it not behave like you think it should behave?

well, I think I got closer this time, but no cigar yet.

the reason I say It doesnt work, because I want it to display the R and JX (Real and Imaginary part of impedance) of UUT at multile different fixed frequencies.  and display the data and smith chart on the screen and export the data and smith chart to excel.

but first thing, how do I set up the analyzer to take measurements at multiple different fixed frequencies? do I need to repeat the fixed frequency icon 9 times (for example) or should I put that in a loop? it gets real crowded if you have to put 9 icons for 9 fixed frequency? perhaps a sub vi? or a better way? thanks

Since you obviously have no idea how to use the equipment, perhaps a call to Agilent is in order.
