Blue keywords are superseded commands.

Most of these commands act on the currently selected standard from the currently selected calibration kit.

Note: You should provide data for every definition field - for every standard in your calibration kit. If a field is not set, the default value may not be what you expect.

SENSe:CORRection:COLLect:CKIT:CATalog?

(Read-only) Returns the names of the first 95 mechanical cal kits in your PNA that can be used for unguided calibrations.  

Examples

Return Type

A comma-separated string

Default

Not Applicable


SENSe:CORRection:COLLect:CKIT:CONNector:ADD <family>,<start>,<stop>,<z0>,<gender>,<media>,<cutoff>

(Write only) Creates a new connector.  The connector is automatically added to the list of available connectors for the currently selected cal kit.  If a connector includes both male and female connectors, each connector must be added separately.

Parameters

 

<family>

(String) Name of connector family. Limited to 50 characters.

<start>

Start frequency

<stop>

Stop frequency

<z0>

Characteristic Impedance of the connector in ohms.

<gender>

COAX - coaxial
WAVE
- waveguide

<cutoff>

Cutoff frequency of the connector (waveguide only).

SENSe:CORRection:COLLect:CKIT:CONNector:CATalog?

(Read-only) Returns a comma-separated list of all connectors defined within the currently selected cal kit.  The returned string includes the connector family name followed by the connector gender, if any.  Kits may include a primary connector family name and additional connector family names.

Connector family names are case sensitive.  A connector family named "PSC 2.4" is different from a connector family named "psc 2.4".

Examples

SENS:CORR:COLL:CKIT:CONN:CAT?

'Returned string

"Type-N (50) male, Type-N (50) female"

Default

Not Applicable


SENSe:CORRection:COLLect:CKIT:CONNector:DELete

(Write-only) Deletes the primary connector family name from the selected kit.  The PNA allows multiple connector families for each kit.  If a kit includes multiple connector families, only the first listed (primary) connector family name is deleted.  

Once the connector family is deleted, the connector may not be assigned to any new or existing standard within the kit.  

The previously defined standards retain their association to the deleted connector name. To reassign standards to a new connector family name, use SENS:CORR:COLL:CKIT:CONN:SNAMe.

SENSe:CORRection:COLLect:CKIT:CONNector:FNAME <name>

(Read-Write)  Replaces the primary connector family name from the selected kit with a new connector family name.  The connector family name is replaced in all standards in the kit that share that name.  The PNA allows multiple connector families for each kit.  If a kit includes multiple connector families, only the first listed (primary) connector family name is replaced.  Use the query form of this command to return the name of the primary connector family.

Parameters

 

<name>

New connector family name.  Limited to 50 characters.

SENSe:CORRection:COLLect:CKIT:TRLoption:IMPedance <char>

(Read-Write) Sets the reference impedance when using this TRL cal kit. Learn more.

Before sending this command, select a cal kit using SENS:CORR:COLL:CKIT:SELect.

Parameters

 

<char>

Choose from:

SYSTem - The system impedance is used as the reference impedance. During a Guided or Unguided Cal, the Z0 of the Cal standard's connector definition sets the System Z0.

Make this selection when the desired test port impedance differs from the impedance of the LINE standard. Also, make this selection when skin effect impedance correction is desired for coax lines.

LINE  The impedance of the line standard is used as the reference impedance, or center of the Smith Chart. Any reflection from the line standard is assumed to be part of the directivity error.

Examples

SENS:CORR:COLL:CKIT:TRL:IMP SYST

Return Type

Character

Default

LINE


SENSe:CORRection:COLLect:CKIT:TRLoption:LRLChar <bool>

(Read-Write)  This setting ONLY applies if an LRL Cal Kit is being modified AND Testport Reference Plane is set to THRU AND the TRL Thru class standard and the TRL Line/Match class standard both have the same values for Offset Z0 and Loss. Otherwise, this setting is ignored.

Before sending this command, select a cal kit using SENS:CORR:COLL:CKIT:SELect.

Parameters

 

<bool>

Choose from:

1 or ON - Automatically correct for line loss and dispersion characteristics.

0 or OFF - Select when anomalies appear during a calibrated measurement which may indicate different loss and impedance values for the Line standards.

Examples

SENS:CORR:COLL:CKIT:TRL:LRLC 1

sense:correction:collect:ckit:trloption:lrlchar off

Query Syntax

SENSe:CORRection:COLLect:CKIT:TRLoption:LRLChar?

Return Type

Boolean

Default

OFF


SENSe:CORRection:COLLect:CKIT:TRLoption:RPLane <char>

(Read-Write) Sets the reference impedance when using this cal kit. Learn more.

Before sending this command, select a cal kit using SENS:CORR:COLL:CKIT:SELect.

Parameters

 

<char>

Choose from:

THRU  The THRU standard definition is used to establish the measurement reference plane. Select if the THRU standard is zero-length or very short.

REFLect  The REFLECT standard definition is used to establish the position of the measurement reference plane. Select if the THRU standard is not appropriate AND the delay of the REFLECT standard is well defined.  Also, select If a flush short is used for the REFLECT standard because a flush short provides a more accurate phase reference than a Thru standard.
