Calibrating the VNA Using SCPI
Learn about Measurement Calibration
Synchronizing the Analyzer and Controller
Applicable Models: All (Read-Write) Specifies the calibration kit to be used when an adapter is necessary to connect the power sensor to the port <pnum> during a guided calibration. This command can also be used with Application channels. See NFX example. When used with Guided Power Cal, first enable a power cal using SENS:CORR:COLL:GUID:PSEN ON
|
|
Parameters |
|
<ch> |
Channel being calibrated, depending on the CHAN:MODE setting. If unspecified, value is set to 1. |
<pnum> |
Source port being calibrated. If unspecified, value is set to 1. For NFX cals, port number must be 1. |
<kit> |
Calibration kit to be used for the specified port. When using an ECal module, include the characterization name in the <kit> string. Use SENSe:CORR:COLL:GUID:CKIT:CAT? to read the list of characterizations available in the module and in VNA disk memory. If two or more identical ECal modules are connected to the VNA, the serial number must be included to distinguish the ECal modules. |
[src] |
String - (NOT case sensitive). Source port. Optional. Use SOUR:CAT? to return a list of valid port names. While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports such as an external source, true mode balanced port, or one of the Source outputs on the 2-port VNA-x model with multiple sources such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority. |
Examples |
SENS:CORR:COLL:GUID:PSEN1:CKIT '85055A' 'The following includes a serial number when two or more ECal mods are connected sense:correction:collect:guided:psensor2:ckit '85092-60010 ECal 10685' |

Applicable Models: All (Read-Write) Specifies the connector type for a power sensor when a power calibration is part of the Guided Calibration process. Valid connector names are stored within calibration kits. Some cal kits may include both male and female connectors. Therefore, specifying connector gender may be required. This command can also be used with Application channels. See NFX example.

|
<ch> |
Channel being calibrated, depending on the CHAN:MODE setting. If unspecified, value is set to 1. |
|
<pnum> |
Source port being calibrated. If unspecified, value is set to 1. |
|
<conn> |
String - Power sensor connector type to connect to the specified VNA port <pnum>. Because the default for this argument is 'Ignored", by specifying a connector type, you imply that you want to calibrate and correct for the effects of the adapter. |

While this argument can be used to make settings for ALL ports, it is designed to access ports such as an external source, true mode balanced port, or one of the Source outputs on the 2-port VNA-x model with multiple sources such as "Port 1 Src2". Otherwise, the <port> argument performs the same function. If both arguments are specified, [src] takes priority. |

Applicable Models: All (Write-only) Adds a power sensor to be used during a Guided Power Calibration. Use when multiple power sensors are to be used to calibrate the entire frequency span. The Name argument is used to recognize the sensor in the User Interface. An item number is automatically assigned to the sensor. Use that number to refer to the sensor. The item number of the newly-added sensor is always equal to the number returned by SENS:CORR:COLL:GUID:PSEN:MULT:COUN? after the ADD. Note: The "multiple sensors" commands are supported ONLY on standard channels. |
