About Dynamic Uncertainty

Description

Sets and returns the ON/OFF state which determines if the calibration that is about to be performed will support Dynamic Uncertainty for S-Parameters (Opt. S93015A/B).

Dynamic Uncertainty for S-Parameters is supported ONLY for calibrations on standard S-Parameter channels. Calibrations performed with that feature enabled do NOT support the use of ALL traditional Guided calibration commands. 

These existing commands are used for the performing of the calibration:

CalKitType

Initialize

GenerateSteps

GetStepDescription

AcquireStep

GenerateErrorTerms

These commands might also optionally be used in performing the cal:

GetCompatibleCalKits

OrientECALModule

ECALPortMapEx

Dynamic Uncertainty must be enabled using this command before starting the calibration procedure because this command controls the way connectors and calkits are assigned to ports during calibration. Therefore, this command must be enabled before any of the following commands to ensure that the connector and calkit settings will be set/queried correctly:

CalKitType

GetCompatibleCalKits

ConnectorType

ValidConnectorTypes
