Popis: A novel approach to computer simulator development of microwave measurement equipment is presented. The main feature of the software is an interface of the simulator, which is an interactive image of the real equipment allowing to manipulate the keys and other elements of the front panel by the computer mouse. For the measurement procedure, the simulator allows to use analytical formulas or upload the data from the computer models of the microwave devices and from the real measurements in *.s2p format. Implementation of the developed simulator into the educational process provides each student with an unlimited access to the measuring equipment and gives the opportunity not only to study the characteristics of microwave devices but also to gain experience with the real equipment due to interactive computer interface that is completely identical to real front panel.
