Standard Class Assignments

Class assignment organizes calibration standards into a format compatible with the error models used in the measurement calibration. A class or group of classes corresponds to the systematic errors to be removed from the measured network analyzer response. Table A-1through A-3list the classes of the devices in the kit for various network analyzers. This information resides on the calibration definitions disk included in the kit.
