ponent analyzer, you must load the calibration data as described in this sec-
tion. Two procedures are provided in this section. The first procedure is the
standard method. You will most likely use it. However, if you have an GPIB
external disk drive, you can use the second procedure. For more information
on calibration data,
refer to “Entering Calibration Data into an Agilent 8702D”
