Controlling the Test Set with
N5222/32/42A/B
N-Port Calibration
It is recommended that you perform an ECal characterization to minimize the
connections required for multiple port calibration. The N4691B Option M0F is
recommended with cable (85131F) if you are calibrating at the analyzer and test set
ports.
Characterize the ECal module with adapters that will not be used in the measurement
of the DUT. To characterize the ECal module select
Response > Cal > More > ECal > Characterize ECal Module
-OR-
(Response > Cal > Cal Sets & Cal Kits > Characterize ECals...)
.
Calibrate at the end of the test port RF cables and any adapters that are used to
connect the DUT. This removes the effect on the measurement of the DUT. Failure to
do this will create ripple and other measurement errors.
Refer to ECal
> User-Characterization.
If measurement errors occur, ensure the newest version of firmware is installed on
the analyzer. Measurement errors can be a result of firmware algorithms. Consult
with Keysight Service or firmware web page for the latest PNA, PNA-L or PNA-X
Option 551 firmware revisions and history.
