The use of Port 3 and/or Port 4 requires a 4-port VNA instrument and related test set.
If the index number is not used, the command applies to Port 1.
:PORT{1-4} refers to the indicated port.
The use of Port 3 or Port 4 requires a 4-port VNA instrument.
If the index number is not used, the command is applied to Port 1.
