To 

perform 

an 

open-short-load 

calibration, select 

Calibrate

 in the 

Main 

menu

 (or just press the  

 + 

 key 

combination).

Following the instructions on the screen, 
connect  “

load

“ 

calibration  standards  to  the  antenna 
connector of the analyzer.

You may connect calibration standards 

to the far end of a cable, so the cable 

will be “nulled”.

To  apply  calibration,  press  the   

  + 

  key  combination  in  any 

measurement mode. The “

CAL

“ mark will 

appear  at  the  bottom  left  corner  of  the
