Quick calibration
The Quick calibration that is available only in the DTF measurement mode is useful when you want to
measure the cable length only, without having to perform a full calibration. It's only valid only for a DTF
measurement in the single layout. If you change the display mode to others, calibration status goes back
to the previous one.
Procedure
1. Connect an extension cable, if necessary, to the Reflection / RF Out port of the instrument.
2. Tap Cal icon in the right side bar. The on-screen instruction appears containing the Quick Cal button.
3. Connect the OPEN standard of the calibration kit to the instrument's the Reflection / RF Out port or to
the extension cable if used.
4. Tap the Quick Cal button. The calibration progress bar appears.
5. Check the screen to see if the calibration status is now changed to Cal ON (Q) .
Performing 2-port Calibration
For 2 Port Transmission measurement mode that needs the 2-port calibration, you must perform the
mechanical or electronic O-S-L calibration and then the Thru calibration after setting the frequency and
the output power.
