Agilent Technologies 87075C Determining the Type of Calibration Kit to Use, Step Step Step Step

	Test Set Cal and SelfCal
	Test Set Cal: An Overview
CAUTION	Although the Test Set Cal can calibrate out the effects of your external hardware, the
	drift-removing features of the SelfCal cannot remove drift associated with any
	external fixtures or cabling. See Figure 3-4.
	Be sure that all external fixtures and cables are extremely stable. Agilent
	recommends the use of semi-rigid cabling external to your multiport test set. Design
	fixturing such that movement of all cables and connectors is minimized.

NOTE

For the most accurate calibrations and measurements, you should select a calibration kit to match each connector of your DUT. This will ensure that no adapters are needed after a calibration has been performed. Procedures to select a calibration kit is given below. For more information on calibration kits, refer to the E5061A/E5062A User’s Guide.

Press [Channel Next] or [Channel Prev] to select the channel for which you want to select the calibration kit.

Press [Cal].

Press Cal Kit.

Select the calibration kit you use.

Alternatively, you can also use [Cal] - Test Set Cal - Calibration - Cal Kit to select a mechanical calibration kit. Follow these steps.

Press [Channel Next] or [Channel Prev] to select the channel for which you want to select the calibration kit.

Press [Cal].

Press Test Set Cal - Calibration - Cal Kit and select a calibration kit you want to use from the softkey menu.

The calibration kit definitions for Port 1 are used for the test set ports with an odd number, while the definitions for Port 2 are used for the ports with an even number.
