Table: Format for the characteristics of the through connector. These must be a full set of S-parameters
(real and imaginary).
To add matched load, short and open, or through adaptor data to a calibration kit, follow the steps below:
Load kit using the Kit Editor (see
Calibration Kit
)
Check the
Load Data Available
box and similarly the boxes for the
Thru
and
Short and Open circuits
in the
Kit Editor parameters
window.
If the existing kit already has load, short and open, or through data, uncheck and recheck the appropriate
box.
If this is not done, the existing data will be kept and copied to the new kit.
If needed, manually enter the rest of the kit parameters. Ensure that the correct offset is entered.
Click
Save Kit
When prompted, select the data file containing the matched load or the through adaptor data in the format
shown above.
Save the kit for future use by clicking the
Save Kit
button (see
Calibration Kit
).
Note:
When a kit is loaded, any available matched load or through adaptor data that is associated with the
kit will be automatically loaded.
The calibration kits available for the PicoVNA 106 come complete with matched load, short and open, and
through adaptor data. Copy these files to your computer for easy access.
It is critically important that the correct kit data, with the correct serial number, is loaded.
