By default cal kit files are stored in the C:\R_S\Instr\user\Nwa\Calibration\Kits directory.
To import a ZVL-specific or ZVR-specific cal kit file (*.ck or *.calkit) you can also use the Windows
Explorer and simply double-click the file or drag and drop the file into the NWA application. The imported
cal kit file is automatically set active.
Importing older ZVR cal kit files
On loading some older ZVR-specific *.ck files, e.g. the ZV-Z23 cal kit file, the ZVL generates the
message
File does not comply with instrument calibration kit file format
. The files must be
converted using a ZVR network analyzer equipped with a firmware version V3.52 or higer. Proceed
as follows:
On the ZVR, press
CAL
–
CAL KITS – MODIFY KITS – INSTALL NEW KIT
to import the *.ck
file.
Press
CREATE INST FILE
in the same submenu to export the *.ck file in a ZVL-compatible
format.
Import the converted file into the ZVL.
*.csv cal kit files: VNA Cal Kit Manager 2.1
The
VNA Cal Kit Manager
is a free, Windows-based software tool intended to import, edit, and
export *csv cal kit files. The software is available for download at
http://www.vnahelp.com/products.html. The decimal separator used by the
VNA Cal Kit Manager
V2.1
depends on the language version of the Windows operating 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.
Englisch) Windows version to avoid trouble.
*.prn cal kit files: PNA Cal Kit Editor
The network analyzer can import and process cal kit files created with the
PNA Cal Kit Editor
. The
files use the extension *.prn; the data format is identical to the *.csv format.
The decimal separator used by the
PNA Cal Kit Editor
depends on the language version of the
Windows operating 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 *.prn
file with commas is loaded. Please install the
PNA Cal Kit Editor
on an appropriate (e.g. Englisch)
Windows version to avoid trouble.
