. The decimal separator used by the
VNA Cal Kit Manager V2.1 depends on the language version of the Windows
®
operat-
ing system: Cal kit files generated on an English operating system contain dots, the
ones generated on a German system contain commas.
The network analyzer expects the dot as a separator and displays an error message
when a
*.csv
file with commas is loaded. Please install the VNA Cal Kit Manager
V2.1 on an appropriate (e.g. English) Windows
®
version to avoid trouble.

Calibration pool
The calibration "Pool" is a collection of correction data sets (cal groups) that the ana-
lyzer stores in a common directory
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Rohde-Schwarz\ZNA\Calibration\Data
. Cal
groups in the pool can be applied to different channels and recall sets. Each cal group
is stored in a separate file named
<CalGroup_name>.cal
. The cal group name can
be changed in the "Calibration Manager" dialog.
One of the available cal groups can be set as "Preset User Cal", i.e. the user correction
data that should be restored after a user-defined preset.
If a new channel is created, the channel calibration of the active channel is also applied
to the new channel. See also
