Anritsu Option 46; Fast CW software
The MS4640B-046 is an official software option for the Anritsu VectorStar MS4640B series Vector Network Analyzers. Option 46 enables Fast Continuous Wave (CW) measurement capability, allowing users to perform high-speed S-parameter measurements at fixed frequencies. This option is designed to significantly reduce measurement time for applications requiring rapid data acquisition, such as production testing or automated test systems. Fast CW mode is particularly useful for characterizing devices under test (DUTs) where speed and throughput are critical. The option is activated via a software license and integrates seamlessly with the VectorStar platform, maintaining full compatibility with other measurement functions and automation features.
