N5232A 010 080 216 Win7 Options:

• Option 010 - Time Domain Capability:
• Enables the VNA to view reflection and transmission responses in the time or distance domain. It is used for filtering out unwanted responses (gating), characterizing impedance of transmission lines, and tuning filters.


• Option 080 - Frequency Offset Mode (FOM):
• Allows the VNA source frequency to be set independently from the receiver tuning frequency. This is essential for measuring frequency converters (mixers) and amplifiers.


• Option 216 - 2-Port Configurable Test Set:
• Adds six front-panel jumpers and source attenuators (60 dB with 10 dB steps) to the base 2-port model. This allows for direct access to the receivers and source, increasing dynamic range for sensitive measurements.


• Option Win7 - Windows 7 Operating System:
• Indicates the PNA-L is running on a 64-bit Windows 7 platform (upgraded from XP).
