Step 3. When menu C11A (left) appears, move cursor to the
following:
a. SSST (TRIPLE OFFSET SHORT), then press
the Enter key. This selects Triple Offset-Short as
the calibration method.
b. COAXIAL, then press the Enter key. This brings
menu C5 (left) to the screen.
c. NEXT CAL STEP, then press the Enter key.
This causes menu C11 to return to the screen.
Step 4. When menu C11 reappears, confirm that the SSST
calibration method and COAXIAL line-type have
been selected. Select NEXT CAL STEP and press
the Enter key to proceed.
Step 5. Menu C5 appears next (lower left). This menu lets
you select the type of calibration. For this example,
move the cursor to FULL 12-TERM and press the
Enter key.
Step 6. The next menu, C5D (below), lets you choose
whether to include or exclude the error terms associ-
ated with leakage between measurement channels.
For a normal calibration, you would choose to include
these error terms. Therefore, move the cursor to
INCLUDE ISOLATION (STANDARD) and press
the Enter key.
