Controlling the Test Set with N5242A/B
N-Port Calibration
It is recommended that you perform an ECal characterization to minimize the connections
required for multiple port calibration. The N4691A/B Option M0F is recommended with cable
(85131F) if you are calibrating at the analyzer and test set ports.
Characterize the ECal module with adapters that will not be used in the measurement of the
DUT. To characterize the ECal module select
Response > Cal > More > ECal > Characterize ECal Module
-OR-
(Response > Cal > Cal Sets & Cal Kits > Characterize E
C
als...)
.
Calibrate at the end of the test port RF cables and any adapters that are used to connect the
DUT. This removes the effect on the measurement of the DUT. Failure to do this will create
ripple and other measurement errors.
If measurement errors occur, ensure the newest version of firmware is
installed on the PNA. Measurement errors can be a result of firmware
algorithms. Consult with Keysight Service or firmware web page for
the latest PNA firmware revisions and history.
