ECal requires the use of the Guided Cal acquisition command:
[:SENSe]:CORRection:COLLect:GUIDed:STEP:ACQuire
The following two 'Guided' commands are optional:
[:SENSe]:CORRection:COLLect:GUIDed:SCOunt
[:SENSe]:CORRection:COLLect:GUIDed:STEP:PROMpt

Note: In the following example: "-p" indicates a user prompt. "#" indicates a comment This example can be copied into a text editor, saved as a *.txt file, and run using the free Keysight Instrument Console program. Learn more. |
Relevant ECal module commands:
The following program performs a 2-port SOLR calibration using an ECal module that is connected to a FieldFox.
A 2-port ECal may have 1 or 3 three steps depending on if 'simple ECal' is set and if the ECal is insertable (can connect to both test ports simultaneously). If one of those conditions is NOT true, then the cal will require 3 steps.
If you would like to use the 3 step cal process, ensure that CORR:COLL:ECAL:SIMP 0 has been set.
A 1-port ECal would require only 1 step.
If you would like to use 1 step simple cal ensure that CORR:COLL:ECAL:SIMP 1 has been set.
The :CORRection:COLLect:GUIDed:SCOunt? command is used to query the number of steps required.
The following example is for a 2-port SOLR cal that uses 3 steps.
