Advantages of automatic calibration
Automatic calibration is faster and more secure than manual calibration, because:
●
There is no need to connect several standards manually. The number of connec-
tions to be performed quickly increases with the number of ports.
●
Invalid calibrations due to operator errors (e.g. wrong standards or improper con-
nections) are almost excluded.
●
No need to handle calibration kit data.
●
The internal standards do not wear out because they are switched electronically.
Limitations of automatic calibration
Calibration units do not contain characterized Through standards, so calibration types
TOM, TSM, TRM, TRL, TNA are not available.
