SMCType Object


Description

Contains the methods and properties to perform an Scalar Measurement Calibration for the Frequency Converter Application (option 083).

Accessing the SMCType object

See an example which creates and calibrates an SMC measurement.

You can also do the following:

Set app = CreateObject("AgilentPNA835x.Application")

Set CalMgr = app.GetCalManager

Set guidedCal = CalMgr.CreateCustomCalEx(1)

Set SMC = guidedCal.CustomCalConfiguration

SMC.ConnectorType(1) = "APC 3.5 male"
