The calkit object provides the properties and methods to access and modify a calibration kit.
The active cal kit is the kit that is selected for use in Unguided calibrations. To get a handle to the active kit, use the app.ActiveCalKit property. To access the CalKit object for a specific cal kit, you must first make that kit the active kit using app.CalKitType.
The CalKit object behaves differently from other objects in that you can only have a handle to one cal kit -- the active cal kit. Therefore, when you change the CalKitType from either the Application object or the CalKit object, you may also be changing the object to which you may have other references.
For example, the following example specifies two CalKit type objects and in turn, assigns them to two different variables: ck1 and ck2.
Dim app As AgilentPNA835x.Application
Dim ck1 As calKit
Dim ck2 As calKit
Set app = CreateObject("AgilentPNA835x.Application", <analyzerName>)
app.CalKitType = naCalKit_User1
Set ck1 = app.ActiveCalKit
ck1.Name = "My CalKit1"
app.CalKitType = naCalKit_User2
Set ck2 = app.ActiveCalKit
ck2.Name = "My CalKit2"
Print "ck1: " & ck1.Name
Print "ck2: " & ck2.Name
When the pointer to each of these kits is read (printed), they each have a pointer to the last kit to be assigned to the active cal kit:
ck1: My CalKit2
ck2: My CalKit2
