About Performing a Calibration

Description

Specifies whether a 2-port calibration will be done with a single set of standards (one port at a time) or with two sets of standards (simultaneously).

The AcquireCalStandard2 command uses the same standard index for each calibration class. To specify the calibration standard gender for each port, you must first ensure that the order of calibration class accurately reflects the configuration of your DUT.  For example, for a DUT with a male connector on port 1 and a female connector on port 2, order the devices within the S11 classes (A, B, and C) such that the MALE standards are first in the list.  Then order the S22 classes specifying the FEMALE standards as the first in the list.
