How should I set the "Adapter Setting" of the 4294A when using the 16089A/B/C/D/E?

Please set the adapter setting of the 4294A to "NONE" when using the 16089A/B/C/D/E.
Although they have a cable, they fall into the category of direct connection type test fixture for adapter setting of the 4294A.

For the details, please refer to paragraph "Adapter Setting" in Chapter 4 of the 4294A Operation Manual.

Note:

The specified frequency for the 16089A/B/C/D/E is up to 100 kHz. When the stop frequency of 4294A is set to 110 MHz (default) and the 16089A/B/C/D/E is connected, the bridge unbalanced error message may be displayed. To avoid the bridge unbalance error message, the stop frequency of 4294A should be set to 100 kHz.

When the fixed frequency points for fixture compensation of 4294A is selected (softkey label: COMP POINT [FIXED]), compensation is performed up to 110 MHz and the bridge unbalance error message may also be displayed during the compensation even if the stop frequency of 4294A is set to 100 kHz. To avoid the bridge unbalance error message, the COMP POINT of 4294A should be set to USER.
