XTest1 makes has two main RF paths:
8 1 Jack Linke
* The main switching and active attenuation path. This path has two inputs (one for lower power, and one for higher power, immediately attenuated by 20dB), and a single output.
9 1 Jack Linke
* An insertion loss path used to measure the insertion loss of the switch and active attenuator
