A-1

INTRODUCTION

This appendix describes the Calibration Specification Files that are used
to specify calibrations that are performed when accessing “Tools,” “Run
Calibration Procedures” in the PATS software. It lists file types, describes
how to open the files for edit, provides technical details of the files, and
shows typical file listings.

A-2

FILE TYPES

There are four files that specify calibrations for (A) Power Level; (B) Hot
S

22

; and (C) S-Parameters; (D) Cal File Setup for Receiver Cal, IMD,

Power Sweep, and Harmonics.

A-3

OPEN FILES

To view or edit the specification files, highlight the filename and right

click the mouse to display a dialog box. Left click on “Properties” then on
“Open” to open the file in Notepad.
