To Create Compensation Data File

This section explains how to create the compensation data file.

1.Select one of the compensation data files (template, 20 files) installed when the Agilent B2200 VXIplug&play driver is installed.

To select the most appropriate template for your measurement environment, see Table 4-9 that lists the file name and the measurement environment where the template targets. Each template is a text file that contains the information as shown below.

The 15th line specifies the used switch module, B2210A or B2211A.

The 16th line specifies the DUT interface, PCIF or CABLE. PCIF indicates that the Agilent B2220A probe card interface is used. CABLE indicates that the connector plate is used.

The lines C2H to C3L should be modified for each measurement environment. See Table 4-9 and Table 4-10. Do not modify the other lines.
