For an ECal User Characterization this generate steps for the ECal User Characterization process. The channel must already be calibrated using the same, or greater number of VNA ports as the ECal module. Also, the VNA ports must begin with Port 1 and use sequential port numbers.

After this command is executed, subsequent commands can be used to query the number of measurement steps, issue the acquisition commands, query the connection description strings, and subsequently complete a User Characterization calibration.
