Il est ainsi possible de mesurer l’impédance d’entrée du DST avec différents instruments de mesures, ou différents type de montage.

could it be assemblies or connections?

Explanation:
Not quite clear exactly what they're referring to, but I think this is about as non-committal as the source text!

My understanding is that the input impedance can either be measured using a specific instrument, or can be measured indirectly using various different circuit hook-ups and (say) more generic instrumentation.

Yes, that makes sense then: different configurations of test equipment used to ultimately measure the same parameter.

disagree  Tony M: I don't think either of these terms (though common enough as translations for 'montage') actually works in the given context here.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Tony M, here is more context:Par exemple l’impédance d’entrée d’un DST peut être mesurée à partir de mesures faites au moyen d’un analyseur de réseau vectoriel au travers d’un tuner de source pré-calibré.
