Port Switchover Delay Disabling

The function allows to disable the Port Switchover Delay. The Port Switchover Delay occurs when the sweep direction changes. By default the Port Switchover Delay value is 10 msec.

This delay affects on power transition and ensures more accurate power level setting after the stimulus direction changes.

Anyway the power level deviation is small and is within the specification regardless of on/off state of the delay state.

To improve performance the delay can be disabled when the S-parameters are measured as S-parameters accuracy does not depend on small power level deviation.

It is not recommended to disable the Port Switchover Delay when the Absolute measurements are performed.

To disable the Port Switchover Delay, use the following softkeys:
