- Performing Measurements With the InstrumentStudio S-Parameter Measurement Panel
The S-parameter measurement panel in InstrumentStudio allows you to connect a single or dual vector signal transceiver (VST) setup to perform full S-parameter measurements without interacting directly with the S-Parameter Measurement Library API. Use the measurement panel to determine the performance of the device being tested.
