RCal Software – Calibration and Application
Running a Calibration
Once the desired measurement state(s) have been configured, select the states to calibrate by
clicking/tapping on each state’s
Calibrate
check box to select.
After selecting the states for calibration, select the
Calibrate Checked Rows
button on the left
panel. You should see the following message:
After ensuring that the RCal module is connected to the signal path, select
OK
to start the
calibration.
The following is a brief summary of what occurs during the calibration process:
— The RCal configuration software automatically prepares the signal analyzer to control the RCal
module for the calibration process.
— The signal analyzer reads relevant factory calibration data from the RCal module to prepare for
corrections.
— The signal analyzer makes measurements and calculates the difference between expected and
actual measurements.
— The differences are stored as corrections to be applied to a later measurement.
Calibrations involving multiple states take longer to execute.
