8711A 12端口开关测试装置能进行适当校准吗

我从eBay购买了上述测试装置之一，我收集的是为了配合8711A VNA。
我相信它基本上是Joel在他的书的图2.25（第94页）中描述的“简单切换树测试集”。
测试集似乎由某种并行接口控制。
我还没有，但我被告知里面有一对SP6T 20 GHz继电器。
*（更新：我购买了其中三个，并且都有4 GHz继电器，所以我猜惠普使用的是20 GHz继电器，当时只有4 GHz的低库存）*我买它是为了将它连接到我的8720D，
所以我还买了一个Arduino Mega 2560微控制器，所以我可以通过GPIB控制继电器，希望能够制造一款可靠的12端口VNA！
有人在测试装置和/或8711A VNA上有手册吗？
我似乎无法在安捷伦网站上找到任何内容，并且询问HP / Agilent Yahoo组也未获得任何结果。
我想尽可能地了解我可以如何控制它，特别是它需要什么样的电源电压。
8711A是否具有能够使用此测试装置进行适当校准的固件？
测试集是由8711A直接控制还是其他用途？
有关在8720D上使用它的实用性的任何想法？

  I purchased one of the above test sets from eBay, which I gather was designed to go with the 8711A VNA. I believe it is basically what Joel describes as a "Simple switch tree test set" on figure 2.25 (page 94) of his book. The test set appears to be controlled by some sort of parallel interface. I don't have it yet, but I'm told there are a pair of SP6T 20 GHz relays inside. *(UPDATE: I bought three of these, and all had 4 GHz relays, so I guess HP used 20 GHz relays when stocks were low on 4 GHz ones only)*

I bought it with the intention of connecting it up to my 8720D, so I also bought an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller, so I can control the relays via GPIB with the hope of making a poor mans 12 port VNA !!  

Does anyone have a manual on the test set, and/or 8711A VNA? I can't seem to find anything on the Agilent web site, and asking on the HP/Agilent Yahoo group has not get any results either. I'd like to try to understand best I can how that was controlled, and in particular what supply voltages it needs.  

Did the 8711A have firmware able to do a proper calibration with this test set? Was the test set controlled by an 8711A directly, or was something else used?  

Any thoughts about the practicalities of using this on an 8720D?  

Dave
