CalKitType Property

Description

Sets and returns the ECal or mechanical cal kit for the specified port number to be used during the calibration.

There is also a CalKitType Property for use during an Unguided Cal.

Note: Sliding loads are not fully supported from the GuidedCalibration object. The Measure button must be pressed manually on the PNA.

Note: This command replaces Do1PortEcal Property and Do2PortEcal Property for SMC and VMC Calibrations.

 VB Syntax

Variable

(Type) - Description

object

Any of the following:

GuidedCalibration (object)

SMCType (object)

VMCType (object)

port

(Long) Port number to which the cal kit will be assigned.

For Guided Cals and SMC, select port number.

For VMC calibrations:

  • 1 - Mixer Input.

  • Any unused port can be used for the mixer output.

  • Output port of MUT +1  - Output port of the calibration mixer. Generally this is port 3.

value

(string) - Calibration Kit type. Case-sensitive.

Use GetCompatibleCalKits to return a list of valid Cal Kits.

Examples

'Note: All of the following specify port 1 only

' Mechanical Cal Kit

guidedCal.CalKitType(1) = "85052C"

' Standard ECal modules

guidedCal.CalKitType(1) = "N4691-60004 ECal"

' Non-factory ECal characterizations are specified as follows:

guidedCal.CalKitType(1) = "N4691-60004 User 1 ECal"

' When two or more ECal modules with the same model number are

' connected, also specify the serial number as follows:

guidedCal.CalKitType(1) = "N4691-60004 ECal 01234"

' When Disk Memory ECal user characterizations are used,

' specify both the User char and the serial number as follows:

'guidedCal.CalKitType(1) = "N4691-60004 MyDskChar ECal 01234"

' Turn on auto orientation for the ECal (default behavior).
