Network Data Explorer displays mixed-mode parameters when differential pairs are both defined and activated.

To define differential pairs:

Note:

The Network Data Explorer Reset All Ports button deactivates all pairs, but it does not clear differential pair settings. Since Reset All Ports also clears reference impedances and terminations, it should not be used when users want to disable all differential pairs. To disable all differential pairs, click the Active column header in the Differential Pairs window to deselect all pairs.
