CalculatePassivityMeasure( string S-ParameterContainerPath )

Calculates a Passivity Measure of S-Parameter data from the Navigation Tree  and inserts it into the navigation tree. S-Parameters are passive, if the matrix [I]-[S]*Transjugate{[S]} is semi-positive definite. Here, [I] is the unity matrix and [S] is the S-Matrix. The calculated passivity measure is the minimum eigenvalue of [I]-[S]*Transjugate{[S]}  as a function of frequency. S-Parameters are non-passive, if the passivity measure is negative. S-ParameterContainerPath is the path of the S-Parameter container in the navigation tree, for which the passivity measure is to be calculated, e.g., "Tasks\SPara1\S-Parameters" for the results of a default S-Parameter task.  

Quit

Exits the application.
