VMC Type Object


Description

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

Accessing the VMCType object

See an example which creates and calibrates a VMC measurement.

You can also do the following:

Set app = CreateObject("AgilentPNA835x.Application")

Set CalMgr = app.GetCalManager

Set guidedCal = CalMgr.CreateCustomCalEx(1)

Set VMC = guidedCal.CustomCalConfiguration

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