Learn about cal types

Description

Note: This command replaces Calibration Type Property.

Sets or returns the current cal type for the measurement using a Cal Type Name.

This command is used to set the Cal Type after recalling a Cal Set. Learn more

You can also use the CLSID or GUID associated with the Cal Type.

 VB Syntax

meas.CalibrationTypeID = id

Variable

(Type) - Description

meas

A Measurement  (object)

id

(String) Cal type. Case sensitive. Use one of the following:

For Full Calibrations:

This command does not distinguish between TRL and SOLT. The same number of error terms is applied for both Cal Types.

"Full n Port(x,y,z...)"

where

n = the number of ports to calibrate

x,y,z = the port numbers to calibrate

For example:

"Full 7 Port(2,3,4,5,6,7,8)"

For Response Calibrations:

"Response(param)"  OR

"ResponseAndIsolation(param)"

Where param =  

• S-parameter. For example"

• • "Response(S21)"

  • "ResponseAndIsolation(A/R)"

• Single or ratioed receivers using either logical receiver notation or physical receiver notation. For example:

• • "Response(A)"

  • "ResponseAndIsolation(a3/b4)"

For FCA Calibrations:

• "SMC_2P" (Response + Input + Output)  All four sweeps required. Most accurate.

• "SMCRsp+IN"  No Output match. All four sweeps required.

• "SMCRsp+OUT"  No Output match. All four sweeps required.

• "SMCRsp"  No Input or Output match. Saves two sweeps.

For VMC, multiple Cal types are not available.

For Gain Compression Cal

where r = receive port; s = source port

• "GCA 2P (r,s)”  - full 2-port cal

• “GCA Enh Resp (r,s)”  - Enhanced Response Cal

Return Type

String

Default

Not Applicable

Examples

 Dim pna

 Dim m

  Set pna = CreateObject("AgilentPNA835x.Application")

  Set m = pna.ActiveMeasurement

  m.CalibrationTypeID = "Scalar Mixer Cal"

  m.ErrorCorrection = True

  MsgBox   m.CalibrationName

C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_CalibrationTypeID( BSTR* CalibrationTypeID );

HRESULT put_CalibrationTypeID( BSTR CalibrationTypeID );
