Option 551 adds a multiport analyzer mode, which enables full N-port error correction and measurement capabilities using an external test set. Only standard measurement class is available in the multi- port analyzer mode. For multiport analysis greater than 8 ports, it is highly recommended to use PLTS software N1930B to manage the large data format files that easily grow exponentially (12 port S-parameter files have 144 S-parameter elements).
You can find more info about multiport test sets under the Options & Accessories/Related Products tab.
