About Performing a Calibration

Description

Note: This command has been replaced by CalibrationTypeID_property, which provides selection of Calibration Type by string.

Specifies the type of calibration to perform or apply to the active S-Parameter measurement. This command determine the ports involved in the CalType by the ports being used by the active measurement.

For example:

• If the measurement is an S23, it uses ports 2 and 3.

• If the measurement is an S22 it will use the legacy load port to figure out which two ports form the caltype. The legacy load port is set using CreateMeasurement.

• If naCalType_ThreePort_SOLT is specified on a 4-port PNA, an E_NA_DEPRECATED_COMMAND error is returned. There is no way to determine the intended three ports.

• If naCalType_FourPort_SOLT is specified on a 4-port PNA, it is obvious that the ports involved are ports 1,2,3, and 4.

Note: For FCA measurements, use CalibrationName and CalibrationTypeID.
