Calibration data
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH adds the calibration data of each calibration you perform to
a calibration data folder available on its internal memory. Each dataset in the calibra-
tion data folder is unique for a particular calibration method and a particular measure-
ment configuration.
Note that the calibration is only valid for the instrument it has been performed on.
Before you start a measurement sequence with the measurement wizard, the R&S
Cable Rider ZPH compares the contents of the calibration data folder to the measure-
ment configurations and required calibration methods in the measurement sequence.
●
If the R&S Cable Rider ZPH has already been calibrated for a particular configura-
tion, it restores that data. Another calibration is not necessary.
●
If the R&S Cable Rider ZPH has not been calibrated for a particular configuration
yet, calibration becomes necessary. The new calibration data is added to the cali-
bration data folder.
Therefore, calibration is necessary only for calibration methods that have not been
used for a particular measurement configuration before.
However, it is recommended to perform calibration regularly to keep measurements as
accurate as possible.
You can delete obsolete calibration data from the folder:
\Public\Calibration Data
Now that you have updated all
Measurement setting parameters
concerning the mea-
surement task, you can start the measurement procedure.
