The NoisePath key is a Switch Path that defines the switch path to connect port 2 of the PNA to the noise source calibration device. This path is only set when the PNA requires a noise source to be connected to port 2.

There is no default value.

Calibrations of the following type are required to set this value.

See the configuration nomenclature for Switch Pair and also Switch Paths.
