855xxA/B Series CalPods and 85523B CalPod Controller
Usage Information
Step 9. Perform Initial 2-Port Calibration
Information
•
The instructions in this step assume that CalPods are connected to PNA Port 1 and Port 2, and that a
2-Port calibration is used.
•
Most PNA calibration types may be used with CalPods. For details, see
“Calibration Types Not Supported
•
For information on PNA traces and channels, see the Quick Start section of the
PNA Series Network
Analyzer Help System (available online and stored in the PNA).
•
Notes on the calibration:
— An ECal or a mechanical calibration kit may be used to perform the calibration. An ECal is preferred
because the RF cables can remain totally undisturbed during the calibration and initialization steps.
— When an ECal is used and multiple connections are required, order the steps such that the final step
is an ECal “Thru” state connection.
— When a mechanical calibration kit is used, take precautions to minimize cable movement. Leave the
final standards connected during the initialization step in the following procedure.
— When the ECal or calibration kit is a 2.4 mm connector type, use appropriate adapters on the CalPod
RF1 and RF2 connectors (2.92 mm) during calibration.
Procedure
If a “Windows Security Alert” appears that is related to the etrak Api, select “Unblock.”
9.4 Assign CalPods to PNA Port 1 and Port 2 or confirm that the appropriate assignments already exist.
Click the down arrow to select from available CalPods for a given port.
It is important to activate the CalPod dialog window at this point to ensure the
CalPods are in the “thru” state.
9.1 Connect the CalPods to the CalPod Controller.
9.2 Power on the CalPod Controller.
9.3 Start the CalPod dialog window titled "Calibration Refresh Module Configuration" using
either method below.
Method 1: Using the PNA front panel HARDKEYS and [softkeys].
Press CAL > [More] > [CalPod] > [CalPod]
Method 2: Using the mouse and the PNA pull-down menus.
Click Response > Cal > CalPod > CalPod
9.5 Close the CalPod dialog window.
9.6 Configure the measurement hardware for the initial calibration.
The initial calibration consists of performing a normal calibration (typically with an ECal module), and
