| 1. Click here to download the PNA help file, PNAHelp.pdf. The internal frequency band crossings for all Agilent PNA and PNA-X models are listed in the Frequency Range section of 1. Set Up a Measurement. The PNAHelp file is also embedded in the PNA and included with new PNA firmware updates. PNA frequency switching speeds vary with frequency and PNA model. PNA frequency switching time could be up to 50,000 µs at band crossings. | |||||
