(Read-Write) Specifies the manual orientation (which ports of the module are connected to which ports of the PNA) when auto-orientation is OFF.

Parameters

<ch>

Any existing channel number. If unspecified, value is set to 1

<n>

Session number of the calibration.

Learn about Cal sessions.

<mod>

1 -  Electronic Calibration Module

<string>

Format in the following manner:

Aw,Bx,Cy,Dz

where

• A, B, C, and D are literal ports on the ECAL module

• w,x,y, and z are substituted for PNA port numbers to which the ECAL module port is connected.

Ports of the module which are not used are omitted from the string.

For example, on a 4-port ECal module with

• port A connected to PNA port 2

• port B connected to PNA port 3

• port C not connected

• port D connected to PNA port 1

the string would be: A2,B3,D1

If either the receive port or source port (or load port for 2-port cal) of the CALC:PAR:SELected measurement is not in this string and orientation is OFF, an attempt to perform an ECal calibration will fail.
