3-2.2 — Standard Calibration
With the Standard CAL mode, calibration is performed only within the frequency range you have defined
for your measurement. The standard calibration will apply to all measurement modes, provided that the
frequency range in use does not exceed the previously calibrated frequency range.
NOTE: If the new frequency range is the same as the one for which the instrument was calibrated, the
calibration will remain valid. For best test results, keep the new range as close as possible to the old.
Procedure:
1.
Tap the
Calibration
main menu key to open the Calibration submenu.
2.
Tap
Cal Method
to toggle between
OSL
(manual) and
E-CAL
(automatic); select the method that
corresponds to the calibration device in use. For more details, see Section 3-1.
3.
If you selected
OSL
in step 2, toggle
Cal Type
to
STD.
4.
Tap
Start Cal
to begin calibration. Follow the on-screen prompts.
Following a successful full span calibration, “Standard ON” will appear in the calibration status tab on the
left edge of the display. You may now proceed with measurement operations as needed.
When the instrument is shut down or the test port extension cable disconnected, the full span calibration will
no longer be valid. “CAL OFF” will appear in the calibration status tab.

Calibration Correction and Info
The Calibration Correction tool is located in the
Calibration
main menu. Tap
Cal Correct
to turn this function
On
or
Off.
When set to Off, the current calibration status will be saved and temporarily disabled. You will be
able to view your measurement without the calibration’s adjustments. The calibration will remain valid, and
does not need to be repeated; simply toggle Cal Correct to On to re-apply it.
Finally, tap the
Cal Info
softkey to open the information dialog. This screen displays the current instrument
settings and active calibration details, including frequency range, calibration type and method, date of
the last calibration, device temperature, and temperature range within which the current calibration will
remain valid.
