The layout of the main panel depends on the number of test ports available.

Ports
Selects the test port(s) to be calibrated.
It is possible to select any combination of two or more test ports. If you're only interes-
ted in a single port
p
, perform a two-port SMARTerCal for a port pair including
p
(as
Power Port).
Note:
Calibration and port de-/activation.
The way the analyzer fimware activates/deactivates ports after a successfull calibration
(system error correction or power calibration) has slightly changed:
●
In all FW releases, calibrated ports that were previously disabled, are automatically
enabled as single-ended logical ports.
●
Starting with FW version 2.10, uncalibrated ports were disabled in the related
channel(s). If only one of the physical ports forming a balanced port was calibrated,
the balanced port was dissolved and only the uncalibrated (single-ended) port was
disabled.
In earlier FW versions there was no such port deactivation mechanism.
●
Since FW version 2.40 an uncalibrated port is only disabled if it is not used by a
measurement, i.e. if it is not required by any trace of the related channel.
Remote command:
The port parameters in many calibration commands define the calibrated port(s).
Cal Unit
Displays the connected calibration units. The R&S
ZNB/ZNBT auto-detects all calibra-
tion units which are connected to one of its USB ports. If several cal units are connec-
ted, one of them must be selected for calibration (active cal unit). A warning is dis-
played if the current sweep range of the network analyzer exceeds the characterized
frequency range of the calibration unit.
