You can also select which of the supported instruments should be emulated:
The demo mode setting and instrument selection can always be changed after installation. Visit the "System > Misc Setup" menu and choose a preferred VNA model or to disable Demo mode. Upon re-launch, the settings will be in effect.
Demo mode is a great way to explore the VNA's software capability and organization, but for assessing VNA measurement performance, we recognize there's no substitute for a hands-on evaluation. We encourage you to request a Demo instrument evaluation! Please reach out to us today.
