Contains the methods and properties used to perform a Guided Calibration.
|
Important! Do NOT use commands from the Calibrator (Unguided calibration) object when performing a Guided calibration. Use ONLY the GuidedCalibration object. The ONLY exception is: Use OrientECalModule_Property and ECalPortMapEx_Property on the Calibrator Object to specify orientation for both guided and unguided calibrations. |
A Guided Calibration must be performed on the Active Channel. To activate a channel, activate any measurement on that channel. Do this using meas.Activate, which requires you already have a handle to the measurement.
For standard S-parameter channels:
Dim app as AgilentPNA835x.Application
Dim CalMgr
Set CalMgr = App.GetCalManager
Dim guidedCal
Set guidedCal = CalMgr.GuidedCalibration
To calibrate an Application channel, see CreateCustomCalEx Method.
THRU Pairs sequenceThe Smart/Guided Cal logic always determines the best calibration based on your specified connectors and ports. The following three commands overwrite the SmartCal logic. Send these commands ONLY if you have a deliberate reason for overwriting the SmartCal logic. When sending one or more of these commands, they must be sent in the following sequence with the other commands listed here. Note: The Initialize command is sent before and after these three commands.
