[SENSe<Ch>:]CORRection:CDATa:PORT<PhyPt>
<ErrorTerm>, <SourcePort>,
<LoadPort>, <CorrectionData>...
Writes or reads system error correction data for a specific channel
<Ch>
, calibration
[SENSe<Ch>:]CORRection:COLLect:METHod:DEFine
), and port combi-
nation
<SourcePort>
,
<LoadPort>
. The setting command can be used to transfer
user-defined correction data
<CorrectionData>
to the analyzer; the query returns
the current correction data set. ASCII or block data can be transferred, depending on
the selected data transfer format (
).
The sweep must be stopped to transfer calibration data; see program example for
[SENSe<Ch>:]CORRection:COLLect:SAVE:SELected:DEFault
.
Note:
This command affects the active calibration of channel no.
<Ch>
or the factory
calibration (if no channel calibration is active). For the factory calibration, the query
form is allowed only (no change of factory calibration data).
Tip:
The analyzer provides a default calibration corresponding to a test setup which
does not introduce any systematic errors; see
.
For an overview of calibration methods and error terms refer to
G and H matrices
The 7-term calibration types named Txx (e.g. TOM, TRM, TRL, TNA) are based on a
network analyzer with two ports i and j, each equipped with a test receiver and a refer-
ence receiver. The system errors are described in terms of two "error two-ports" P
G
and P
H
:
●
The error two-port P
G
is assigned to port i of the analyzer. Its transmission matrix G
describes how the system errors modify the outgoing and incident waves at port i:

In the two equations above, a and b denote the waves at the calibrated reference
plane i and j (e.g. the input and output of the 2-port DUT). The m waves are the raw
measured waves of test port i and j. The subscripts "ref" and "test" refer to the refer-
ence and test receivers, respectively. During the calibration the network analyzer
acquires ratios of wave quantities, which leaves one of non-diagonal matrix elements
of G or H as a free normalization factor. The network analyzer uses the normalization
