N7874A Calibration Application Help for PXIe/USB Vector Network Analyzers

N7874A Test System Overview

This help system describes how to install, configure, and run the calibration software so that you can test the Keysight PXIe/USB vector network analyzers (VNA).

New DUT Models and Options Supported

None

New Test Equipment

  • U3020BD01 dynamic accuracy test set
  • U3070BK01 compression test set

New Features and Enhancements

None

To successfully complete the module calibration, all performance tests must be run and passed within 14 days to run the Store Cal Info to Module test. Note that this excludes any functional tests such as the Receiver Calibration Verification (Functional) Test.
