3.2 Installation of Standard Definitions 

 
The standard procedure to install Standard Definitions is to import them from the USB stick onto 
your VNA. As standard delivery data files for Vector Network Anaylzer Families PNA 
(Keysight/Agilent) and ZVA (Rohde&Schwarz) are included. Data files for other VNA families 
are available on request. If the specific data file is not available, the standard definitions have to 
be installed manually with the provided information from the Standard Definitions Cards. 
 

 

USB-stick

 

The Kit Info Card gives a brief description for the VNAs described above. 
For all others please consult the VNA operating manual. 
 

 

Manual installation

 

The manual installation is a more complex process. Please consult the VNA operating man-
ual. 
Some network analyzers allow a step by step input of the model based standard definitions  
during the VNA calibration without previously loading them. 
 

 

Updating

 

After a re-calibration the standard definitions are optimized on the basis of the actual meas-
urements.  
Data files have to be imported like described before. 
For a manual update only the values that have changed have to be modified.  
 

3.3 Standard Definitions file nomenclature 

 
The file name includes the calibration kit type, the serial number, the type of standard definitions 
and the date of calibration. The file extension defines the VNA types the file can be used on. For 
further Information see the Application Note AN001.
