S-Parameter Measurement Library Overview
The S-Parameter Measurement Library is a software add-on that enables measuring the S-parameters of a component through a network of external couplers, common in high-power applications, using the NI PXI Vector Signal Transceiver (VST).
Note Unless your application needs direct
receiver access and external couplers, NI recommends using the PXIe-5633 Vector Network
Analyzer. The S-Parameter Measurement Library does not support NI PXI Vector
Network Analyzers. Refer to S-Parameter Measurement Library Hardware Configuration
Options for a list of supported hardware.

Features
- Pulsed S-parameters
- Operation up to 26.5 GHz
- Allows multiple instrument topologies, leveraging one or multiple VST and switched paths to facilitate various instrument configurations
- Capable of directly controlling NI PXI RF Switches or custom switch systems through an extensible API
